- Abstract
This thesis is a study of the concept of duration conceived of as the totality of
experience in time. This concept is explained by the philosopher Henri Bergson.
Duration is analyzed through the continuous multiplicity. Through the theories on
actions and events by Donald Davidson and Joel Feinburg, an architectural
programme is reformulated for the temporal design of a house. Strategies found
in Giorgio De Chirico and Umberto Boccioni’s art works, as they are related to
temporality and space, are used to focus the design of a house toward events
that occur in space, rather than space itself. The result of this inquiry is a
durational architecture constructed through recurring event spaces that are
designed with respect to time and programme.
