TY - GEN A1 - Hiott, Andrea T1 - Asymmetrical Reconciliation T2 - Environmental & Architectural Phenomenology N2 - This work discusses McGilchrist's The Matter with Things and its aim (or consequence) to portray a nested, fractal manner ofunderstanding closer to the natural world and closer to the right brain’s aware-ness—a grasping that means to touch butalso to understand via reconciling what isasymmetrical. McGilchrist expresses thisexperience as a whirlpool of matter and consciousness (p. 1567). Holding opposites means under-stand-ing that what you hold are not really op-posites, just like music is not its notationor film a series of images. It is this dissonance that allows the nested, fractal positions that appear asymmetrical but are in fact inseparable and not to be judged as two.
