About this exposition

Thesis of the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague, 2022 Master Interior Architecture (INSIDE) This thesis is nonlinear, fluidly organized and freely associative because that’s how I think and work. I have learned to embrace this way of working and thinking through the writer and philosopher Helene Cixous. Helene Cixous argues that we need new languages and so she has proposed what she calls Écriture féminine (feminine writing). Feminine writing resists patriarchal and binary modes of thinking which usually require correct methods of organization and rationalist rules of logic. This logic relies on narrow cognitive experience and discredits emotional and intuitive experiences. According to Cixous feminine writing also resists linear reasoning. I have created my own way of constructing a thesis. I have established my own rules and logic and allowed myself to be intuitive. The order of this thesis might be a bit unconventional. There is no beginning, middle and end (conclusion).
