Observing, recording, visualising and interpreting visitors’ movement patterns in art museums
While it may seem obvious that visitors to an art museum move through exhibition space to see exhibits, understanding the corollaries of this movement is less so. Such an understanding requires using various complementary methodologies to observe, record, visualise and interpret visitors’ movement options. This paper is a systematic review of some long-standing methodologies and analytical tools developed within the field of visitor studies and s…
Aesthetics in the high-rise apartment complex
The built-environment and language are different social semiotic systems; nonetheless, they share similarities. Both are about meaning-making. Both spatial and verbal texts unfold over time as we move through their semiotic space. Therefore, some aspects of linguistics and semiotics may be useful to draw on to understand better how our built-environment means. This article explores the concept of appreciation in residential high-rises, arguing th…
Penetrating spaces
Penetrating spaces examines how movement is used as a semiotic resource to transform the meaning potential of the installation space Spreading the Love. This transformation underscores the rewriting of the script of rape, a scripted interaction that draws upon, yet also creates, social configurations of sexuality and gender. Being a “script”, it can be rewritten, or transformed, by playing socially constructed roles differently. Drawing on perfor…
The meaning of [exiting]
Descriptions of grammars need not be restricted to language. Many attempts at the grammaticalization of nonlinguistic communicative events have been based on the theoretical tenets of systemic functional linguistics; however, in order to account for the affordances of these different semiotic systems, some of the models deviate from the Hallidayan model. With respect to architecture, this article suggests that perhaps it is not the model that nee…
Bobbing for power
This article adapts and applies modality analysis to a new field — haircuts. In particular, it questions the acceptance and ubiquity of the bob. The article regards haircuts as semiotic constructs and modes of communication; as such, like all texts, haircuts can be subjected to multimodal discourse analysis. Modality is used as an analytical tool in approaching the analysis of the bob as a meaning-making resource. The bob is culturally and histor…
