Abstract

Buildings, spaces, objects - architectural things, everything is of a temporal nature, but this can be hard to grasp. However, we are capable of understanding time as a part of architecture. Not just as a concept, but as something that manifests itself as intrinsic characteristics in the architecture we create and experience.

Temporal empathy is about understanding the temporal nature of things around you not only through thinking, but through feeling. Likewise, a complete understanding of temporal empathy as a subject itself can only be achieved by both thinking and feeling.
