Rorschach Ink blots




I realised while looking at my sketch plan of my library that it bore a striking resemblance to the Rorschach ink blot drawings that are used in psychoanalysis. Perhaps if I am using the Lacanian / Freudian interpretation of buildings as metaphors for the human personality and am allocating levels of the building to represent different levels of consciousness, levels of ego or levels of reality and fantasy, the ink blot shapes could define the various strata through the building, each ambiguous shape made as one which bears a resemblance in some way to its true function.
