The objective of this study is to extract a schema of a person who experience a space and to represent it graphically systematically by operating sentences which represent experience of space. When we experience a building and a garden, the schema directs us to perceive things and position ourselves in the space. In the field of architectural planning, it is important to focus on a person's behaviors in a space. Expressing behaviors and space by physical schemata would make us understand the space and experience more.
In this study, we use a concept called the kinethetic-image-schema suggested by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson, the field of the cognitive linguistics, because we try the extraction of a physical schema. We represent the schema of experience of space by combining the kinethetic-image-schemata. In addition, in this study, we divide experience of space into the plural scenes because we treat experience of space with movements of the subject. We translate sentences into the conceptual dependency theory built by Schank, the field of the artificial intelligence, and divide a sentences into the plural scenes.
In this paragraph we show a method to extract and illustrate physical schema from experience of space. We record experience of space in sentences and translate sentences into conceptual dependency theory and divide sentences into the plural scenes and connect words to the kinethetic-image-schema and express the schema of experience in each scene.
We experienced 22 spaces, gained 113 experience of space and represented every experience schema. We confirmed that the schema (illustrated by us) represent the experient's own experience checked by himself. In conclusion, as a result of building a method to schematize experience of space using a CD theory and image schema, and experiencing 22 space with 113 experiences, and extracting the schemata, we represented the schema diagram which explained an experience by this method.
