ARCHITECTURAL SPACE MONTAGE TECHNIQUE AND SCHIZOPHRENIC PATIENT

Author(s):
Shigeyuki Okazaki,Tatsuhiko Ito

Publication/Publisher:
Journal of Archit. Plann. Environ. Engng, AIJ, No.436, pp.127-137, June, 1992

Abstract:
Architectural Space Montage Method was thought up by authors. Subject's mental image is expected to be represented by miniatures 1 to 50 scale, such as units of walls, furnitures, people and trees on a white plate 60cm*90cm. Schizophrenic patients try to make a model of the ideal ward in mental hospital. This method would not deteriorate psychopatholgy because of forming only daily living space unlike sandplay therapy. Framing, disturbed association of ideas and preference of protected space were represented on their own works. This mathod might be a useful therapy in near future because of interests by patients, endurance and impetus to patients.

ARCHITECTURAL SPACE MONTAGE TECHNIQUE AND SCHOOL CHILDREN

Publication/Publisher:
Journal of Archit. Plann. Environ. Engng, AIJ, No.438, pp.109-118, Aug., 1992

Abstract:
Architectural Space Montage Method was thought up by authors. Subject's mental schema is expected to be represented by the disposition of miniatures 1 to 50 scale on a white plate 60cm*90cm. School children as subjects of this method tried to make models of the ideal school. The earlier disposition of the architectural space by walls without furniture showed the subject's mental schema in the developed stage of the process. An entrance was imaged as a center of school. Inconsistencies of functional relations of spaces were found in models in the undeveloped stage. The difference in schema between schizophrenic patients and children was clarified. Models showed that girl liked the space surrounded.

Abstract:
Architectural Space Montage Technique was thought up by authors. Mentally handicapped children's schema is expected to be represented by miniatures 1 to 50 scale, such as units of walls, furniture, people and trees on a white plate 60 cm*90 cm. We analysed spatial components of works by this method, and investigate that the development of ability for arrangement of spatial components is correlative with the mental age of the subject. Characteristics of works by autistic children and Down's syndrome children are examined. We discussed characteristics of works by mentally handicapped children, comparing with characteristics of works by school children and kindergarteners. The analogy of works by a subject is studied , and also the analogy between a work by a subject and an architecture plan of his school is investigated.

Publication/Publisher:
J. Archit. Plann. Environ. Eng., AIJ, No.518, pp.313-320, Apr., 1999

Abstract:
 Architectural Space Montage Technique was designed by the authors. The subject's mental schema is represented by spatial composition of miniatures on a 60B by 90B white plate. The scale for miniatures, such as furniture, people, trees, flowers and many kinds of standardized walls, is 1 to 50. In this experiment twenty-four kindergarten children made 40 models of the kindergarten. By analyzing each model and the children, we clarified characteristics of spatial composition and many types of subconscious schema, such as maldistribution, primordial enclosure, a great variety of configurations composed of furniture, complex of rooms integrated with corridor.

Abstract:
 Architectural Space Montage Technique was designed by the authors. The subject's mental schema is represented by spatial composition of miniatures on a 60B by 90B white plate. The scale for miniatures, such as furniture, people, trees, flowers and many kinds of standardized walls, is 1 to 50. In this experiment twenty-four kindergarten children made 40 models and drawings of the kindergarten. By analyzing each model, the drawing and the children, we clarified characteristics of many types of schema, such as the enclosure of space before structuralization, the birth of the structure, the organization of space.

The Primitive Schema in the Developmental Stage

Publication/Publisher:
SUMMARIES OF TECHNICAL PAPERS OF ANNUAL MEETING ARCHITECTURAL INSTITUTE OF JAPAN, pp.393-394, 1997

Abstract:
 Subjects' schema is expected to be representented by Architectural Space Montage Technique. Kindergarteners as subjects of this method tried to make model of their kindergarten and to draw a picture of it. The primitive schema is represented by independent scenes composed of a few components. Other type of primitive dispositions are seemed. We called them "linear disposition","disorderly disposition" and "symbolic enclosure". The linear disposition and the disorderly disposition was seemed in works of handicapped children. In drawing, there were some subjects who used "the Primordial Circle" . It is thought to be one of the primitive schema.

The Generation of the Distinction between Interior and Exterior Space in the Developmental Stage of Schema

Abstract:
 The purpose of this paper is to show the second stage in the development of kindergartener's schema that we have foundハ in Architectural Space Montage Technique. The details of our experimental method is shown in our another report,"The primitive schema in the developmental stage". we call this second stage "The generation of the distinction between interior and exterior space". Moreover we've discovered two kind of works in this stage. One is "The generation of the enclosure", and the other is "The perfect enclosure". Meanwhile, each child's drawing roughly corresponds to his work in Architectural Space Montage Technique.

Abstract:
 The purpose of this paper is to show the third stage in the development of kindergartener's schema that we have found in Architectural Space Montage Technique. In this stage we observed the differentiation of the interior space and the appearance of the room.ハ Moreover we could divide their works into two groups by the process of making the room. One is "Putting the furniture first" and the other is "Putting the walls first". we found some charactaristics of them in works of Architectural Space Montage Technique and drawing.

Publication/Publisher:
SUMMARIES OF TECHNICAL PAPERS OF ANNUAL MEETING ARCHITECTURAL INSTITUTE OF JAPAN, pp.609-610, 1998

Abstract:
 In Architectural Space Montage Technique, twenty-three kindergarten children made 38 models of the kindergarten. And they made drawings of the kindergarten. By analyzing each model, we clarified the characteristics of spatial composition from primordial distribution to configurations composed of both furniture and walls as various indications of enclosure. Types of spatial composition are "maldistribution", "primordial enclosure", "distribution of miniature models facing the subject", "distribution of miniature models oriented to the frame of the plate", "uniform distribution", "aligned", "configurations composed of furniture", "a wall used as an entrance", "a wall used as a partition", and "a string of walls".

Abstract:
 In Architectural Space Montage Technique, kindergarten children made models of the kindergarten. By analyzing each model, we clarified the characteristics of spatial composition since incomplete enclosure with walls. Since an appearance of configurations composed of furniture, the works have been more organized; for example, the model including both configurations composed of furniture and enclosure, the model organized by walls. Types of spatial composition are "incomplete enclosure", "a group of configurations composed of furniture and incomplete enclosure", "complete enclosure", "a group of configurations composed of furniture and complete enclosure", "comprehensive enclosure", and "organization of rooms".

Publication/Publisher:
SUMMARIES OF TECHNICAL PAPERS OF ANNUAL MEETING ARCHITECTURAL INSTITUTE OF JAPAN, pp.613-614, 1998

Abstract:
 In Architectural Space Montage Technique, kindergarten children made models of the kindergarten. The spatial composition of miniature models on a 60 cm by 90 cm white plate is expected to represent the subject's schema. By analyzing each model , we clarified the characteristics of spatial composition and many types of subconscious schema. Types of schema are: maldistribution, uniform distribution, distribution of miniature models facing the subject, oriented to the frame of the plate, primordial enclosure, aligned, a great variety of configurations composed of furniture, both furniture and walls as various indications of enclosure, enclosure, and complex of rooms integrated with corridor.
