Figure 4
A diagram of the linguistic construct, showing how language constructs reality through layered elements. The diagram is divided into six horizontal layers, each representing a different aspect of language: atmosphere, materiality, spatial relation, program, temporal cue, and semantic tension. Each layer contains several terms connected by lines indicating relationships. The atmosphere layer includes terms like quiet, threshold, and soft light. The materiality layer includes terms like timber, concrete, and glass. The spatial relation layer includes terms like between, in-between, and edge. The program layer includes terms like gathering, dwelling, and study. The temporal cue layer includes terms like morning, seasonal, and cyclical. The semantic tension layer includes terms like inside/outside and private/public. Arrows and lines connect these terms, indicating influence, association, or proximity. The linguistic construct: prompt language as a layered and unstable assembly of atmosphere, materiality, spatial relation, program, temporal cue and semantic tension
