The following thesis is a theoretical investigation that seeks to find meaning beyond the visual values and aesthetic characteristics of architecture and explores precedents in which vision has either dominated architecture or supported it in enhancing the human existential experience. What is the deeper explanation for this external visual fixation, and what are the various ways in which the visual and aesthetic affected our perception of architecture and existential experience?
To seek these understandings, this thesis analyses significant time periods in history that had a significant impact on the rchitectural fulfilling experience. By analyzing how this vision became a necessity and addressing times in history when this visionary-based architecture was prominent. It explores how vision fixation affected the wholistic sense of meaning in existence through the architectural experience.
