The Hidden Dimension
“Today, when all of us are overwhelmed with data from many sources, it is easy to understand why people feel that they are losing touch, even in their own field. In spite of television, or possibly because of it, people feel a loss of relatedness to the world at large. Information overload increases the need for organizing frames of reference to integrate the mass of rapidly changing information. The Hidden Dimension attempts to provide such an organizing frame for space as a system of communication, and for the spatial aspects of architecture and city planning…In writing about my research on people’s use of space – the space that they maintain among themselves and their fellows, and that they build around themselves in their cities, their homes, and their offices – my purpose is to bring to awareness what as been taken for granted. By this means, I hope to increase self-knowledge and decrease alienation. In sum, to help introduce people to themselves.” – Edward T. Hall
