Abstract

The following article describes an analysis of the spaces and the atmospheres of the protagonist's apartment in the novel »Territory of Light« by Japanese author Yuko Tsushima. This research concluded in the short film titled »The Poetics of Home« that portrays imagined, fictional spaces. The film is composed of eight chapters. Each reflecting an analytical process of reading, interpreting, imagining, translating and remembering. The impalpable spaces that form in the mind during this layered play are articulated and materialized through a selection of atmospheric depictions combined into visual narratives. »The Poetics of Home« contributes to the study of architecture's more elusive and ephemeral aspects, those that cannot be easily researched and documented by solely utilizing classical architectural mediums, and thus suggests a method for analyzing them. At the same time, it shines a light on the often-neglected beauty of everyday ordinary spaces, that can be found in their texture, light, sound, smell, sense of time etc.
