Ninth International Conference on The Image

Abstract

The study will discuss the notion of embodied mind and visual creativity through the teaching of the conceptual diagram and image analysis in design education for students of the millennial generation. Arguably the current generation of students suffers from dualistic detachment problems because of the influence of social and technological change. The architectural part is a conceptual diagram, as derived from the Beaux Arts tradition and has been used extensively as a fundamental learning methodology in design education. The study will analyze the cognitive perception on the interpretation of image and diagram based on Gestalt psychology. The analysis will include the combined aspect of emotion and embodiment based on phenomenology and contemporary philosophy. Subsequently, the architectural diagrams can serve as a creative visual literacy platform for both of formal composition and imagined experience. In this ideal realm, the students will be able to create congruence spatial pattern with the imagined living experientially of the potential users.
