We never know how high we are by Emily Dickinson delineates that we do not really understand what we are capable of doing until we meet a challenge that allows us to mature. Furthermore, if we are not afraid of reaching greatness we can get anywhere. However, most of the time we do not struggle for importance because we fear the responsibility that greatness comes with. We do not do what our potential is capable of because we are afraid of leadership and obligation. Through my architectural design, I am trying to convey to the viewer that there is something behind what we are capable of seeing.
I am very happy of how my project involved from a very simple, plane, and monotonous design into a design that conveys my interpretation of the poem. I figured out that I want to focus on the light more than anything. I want to create different openings in which light changes throughout the day. By creating this wall made out of elements, I can not only focus on the different lights produced but also on the different height of every element. Furthermore, in order to be consistent with this 'style', I created the openings with similar shapes in the opposite plane. Moreover, I did the sitting place like a 'box' in order to support's the poems idea that we do not look for greatness unless we are asked to. Also, I placed it on the thick plane as a symbol for protection. In this way, the reader realizes that he feels protected where he is now and that is moving from that save spot what he is afraid for. This supports the poem’s idea of our fear of responsibility and greatness. In this way, the reader can understand the poem through the architecture that surrounds him.
