Architecture can attempt to bridge the gap between abstract system-knowledge and daily lived experience.

Evidence

The problem, then, which the Gehry house tries to think is the relationship between that abstract knowledge and conviction or belief about the superstate and the existential daily life of people in their traditional rooms and tract houses. There must be a relationship between those two realms or dimensions of reality, or else we are altogether within science fiction without realizing it. But the nature of that relationship eludes the mind. The building then tries to think through this spatial problem in spatial terms. — Fredric Jameson, Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic…, 324

Categorization

• XREF: Connects to the reader’s goal of mapping their own position in the world system — the ‘two realms’ problem (abstract knowledge of the superstate vs. daily life) is precisely the split the reader wants to cognize. — connects to: Industrialization posed three distinct challenges architecture initially failed to meet. — Perry Anderson, The Origins of Postmodernity, 91
• DEFINE: Shows the cognitive-mapping concept applied: the aporia between macro-system and micro-daily-life is what architecture here is said to ‘think’.
