As designers, architects and planners, we tend to perceive and represent the physical space as
an absolute space without reference to the dimension of time though physical space is constantly
changing in time, as part of daily casual and transiently changes in nature and climate. The way we
perceive such changes of space through time is influenced greatly by our means of representation
and alternatively, representation encourages and fixates spatial perceptions. Both the perception
of space and its representation have strong implication on spatial organizations. In what way does
the dimension of time influences our perception and representation of a space that is constantly
changing, one that expresses indefinite boundaries and requires a flexible design that responds to
uncertainty?
By means of sketching and mapping, architects actively negotiate between representation and
spatial projection (Corner, 1999). The map in effect is an “agent” of space, and emphasizes the
perceived complicate relationships between time and space (Massey, 2003). While the choice of
drawings expresses spatial preferences as opposed to time, in visual art for example, particularly
in painting, a graphical representation of the dimension of time expresses evidence and memory,
sensational experience and imagination. This representation encourages a complex dialectic
between the artist/architect’s and the viewer’s perception in relation to the various possibilities
of readings of space and its methods of representation. This form of representation has the
embedded potential to form a relationship of space in relation to time (Bordeleau, Bresler, 2010).
