Of Impulse Conversion and a Masterpiece of Spatial Concept

-The museum of hearing...?

Parallel to what biomorphic architecture has to do with the borrowed idea from human organic inner structures, some component in our body (other than the physics of the skeletal structure), are able to show enormous functional proximity and physical metaphor with how we shape our building art. This time the idea is from our ear cochlea.

To achieve genius architecture spatial quality need no devine transcendental interfered idea, a close look at how our sensory organs work might do you well. The working of Cochlea, an auditory structure in our inner ear, shows close resemblance with how the greatest 20th century architectural space functions to rise human sensation in art appreciation, it is the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum of New York.
-5thAvenue, Upper East Side, New York.

The cochlea is filled with watery liquid that moves in accordance with vibration coming from the middle ear. There are 'Hair cells' inside the spiralling scala vestibuli that set into motion when a low frequency vibration is detected. While the liquid moves along the spiraling 'rotunda', Hair Cells convert vibration into electrical impulses and are sended through neurotransmitter to the brain to produce SENSATION.

The Guggenheim Museum simply works the same way as with the Cochlea. The extraordinary experience of walking down the spiralling ramp while enjoying endless piece of artwork on the spiralling wall, could have putted the cliche of 'architecture as boxes' to the test. The spatial concept here intensify the sensory link between the messages of the art on the wall with the human soul.

Here, you walk down the spiralling ramp, your physical present metaphorically works as the 'vibrational input', the museum's volume of space as the 'watery liquid' of cochlea, the artwork on wall as the 'hair cells' on the spiralling scala vertibuli, the messages and the texture of the artwork as the sensory 'impulses',...all in one coincide within a beautiful moment, INTENSIFYING THE SENSATIONAL RETHINK OF THE MEANING OF TRUE GREATNESS!
