The former begins by understanding the role of the body and image in affective discourse and examines a few case studies which employ these positions. Juhani Palasmaa argues for the acknowledgement of the body as one which is active, visceral and experiential and as such, architecture must be designed accordingly. The case study on Diller and Scofidio's 'projectories' highlights how the image can offer affective qualities when used correctly. These are key arguments identified in the research for design phase and is referred to a source material throughout the duration of the research. 'Research through design' extends these positions towards the body and image through three design tests. Each of these tests increase in scale which is the methodology used throughout this thesis. The increase of each scale poses the need for more architectural complexity. The installation focuses on how a sense of embodiment can be intensified through design while the domestic scale explores how images can be re-appraised to offer an affective charge. In the public scale test, both these ideas are developed through a train station design which offers an experience that engages the body through re-appraised images.
