Article 2

From the article, the Heidegger thinking is too abstract.

But if we read to what language says in the word bauen we can know that :
1. building is really dwelling.
2.Dwelling is the manner in which mortals are on the earth.
3.building as dwelling unfolds into teh building that cutivates grwoing things and teh buildng thaerects building.

In order to understand Heidegger's view of architecture and its role on society, it is important first of all to understand what Heidegger has to say about technology, as well as his talismanic approach to construction. This construction needs to be recognized not so much as a literal constrcting of bojects in the physical world, but rather as a way of looking at the world- and as a way of using that worlds so that human beings become part of the world rather.

The Heidegger talk about symbolism , when you see a greek temple, you may think about its use, or what it contains, so that it's symbolism that is being conveyed. I think he is talking about whether a building is an object or it conveys something else.

Relationsip of man & God
From the ancient of Greek, the temple all built at the hill and a isolated place. And all the temple was huge because they believe that God is Great and Grand. And the Temple not just represent the God and also is the place that God stay. The function of the Temple not just a dwelling for God, it also a symbolism for showing the Grand, Reverence, Fear for God.
It create a harmony feeling that once you enter the Temple, you will feel the Grand of God, and you have to be humble and awe.

Relationship of Man & Nature
Man & Nature are related very close. From the ancient period, human starting to built building on the hill, at the grassland. Our building stay harmony and blend into the environment. With the new technology of development. What we built is become ignore the Nature. So it comes out the Garden City concept and 5 finger concept and so on to keep the nature as part of our planning. It is very important and releavant between Man & Nature. Without taking good care of Nature, Man can't have a mortal dwelling cause nature represent the Earth. If the earth destroy, our dwelling gone too.

Place & space
Place is consider a location. Which have the specific location. Spaec means a place cleared or freed fro settlement and lodging. A space is seomthing that has been made room for,namely within a boundary, a boudary is not that at which something stop but, as the boundary that from which something begins its presencing. As locations, allow a site we now in anticipation call building. There are so called becauwse there are made by process of building construction. There are locations that allow a site in a place that in each case provides for a space. The relation between place and spcace lies in the nature of things location, but so does the relation of the location to the man who lives at the location.What we need to concern about the Place and space is different place we need different space for it.

Dwelling
dwelling is a space for living. Human stay in dwelling. dwelling can be building. To stay in a place. Building not Dwelling.Yet those buildings that are not dwelling places remain in turn determined by dwelling insofar as they serve man's dwelling. Thus dwelling would in any case be the end that presides over all building. Dwelling and buiding are related as end and means. However, as long as this is all we have in mind, we take dwlling and building as two diferent thing, an idea that has somthing same. For buildng is not merely a means and a way towards dwelling to build is in itself already to dwell.

Language
It is language that tell us about the nature of a thing, prvided that we respect languale's own nature. We can use language to describe what we want and explain the meaning of everything.
By language, human can communicate. And with language, human can work more closely but it is just between human.


This is the church that i manage to visit last time and on Sunday





This is St. Mary Church, the internal proposion is similar like St Andrew Church. It using yellow light to create a harmony feel and when human comes in they will feel peace. It is a place for God and human communicate.


St. Andrew Church


The sitting area is in line and the internal part is using natural sunlight to lighten up the space.


There is a opening on the East and West side of the wall. When the sunlight comes in, it create a saint and pure feeling that like the saint light shining thru the opening to the internal.
