Richard Wright's Haptic Sense Of Wellness

Moreover, Hildebrand suggests that the movement within the space of complex order rewards our innate mental attention as humans’ memory are capable of memorizing the discontinuous presentation. This behavior has its early practicality in retaining certain features visually, aurally and rhythmically, assisting in recognizing orientation in a resourceful yet complex environment. This is particularly true in a cognitive context, as Robinson asserts that human’s haptic sense, a system which pertains to our sense of touch, is connected emotionally and mentally. The comprehension abilities of humans is not solely based on visual qualities and hypothesis of mental states, but also through perceiving other’s bodily experience. While entering the threshold to Wright’s Taliesin West (Figure 11.), she mentions that a sense of compression is imparted, as a prelude to another realm, in order to celebrate the elation of release. This compressed feeling is executed with the resistance encountered, for instance an action of opening a heavy door, which accentuates the sense of gravity and formality, allowing the visitor to halt before entering the contrasting spaces. Typical

This principle, not only helps to drive one’s experience visually, it enriches human’s perception through movement within space, as one interprets a situation with a few senses other than vision. For this topic, Robinson’s and McCarter’s analysis on the layout of Wright’s work corresponds to Hildebrand’s contention of complex order theory, in a way that it involves input from diverse disciplines. Therefore, complexity and order in an architectural context, which originally derives from the natural setting, plays a pivotal role in satisfying human inherent
