BUILDING DWELLING THINKING
- MARTIN HEIDEGGER
In the article, Heidegger explains what is
to dwell in language aspects. The Old
High German word bauen was used to
illustrate to build is to dwell, and the
building belongs to dwell.
“Building as dwelling unfolds into the
building that cultivates growing things
and the building that erects buildings.”
However, in the present times when we
speak of dwelling we usually think of an
activity that performed that is a
separated form. And to dwell, is “we
human beings are on earth.”
READING
The nature of building is letting dwell.

Location vs Space?
A location gives a site to a building, and
the building itself also makes space for a
site. Spaces receive their beings from
locations.
Man and Space?
Space is already exist, and opened up
letting man to dwell. Man persist through
spaces by the staying within the space,
the location.
