This dissertation positions the literary imagination as a fertile interlocutor to design process and architectural inquiry. Its premise is the architectural project in its full complexity, as it extends beyond the object, to emphasize the active reciprocity between the built environment, its geographical and cultural locality, and its human inhabitation. I take for granted that architecture participates to a multifaceted cultural matrix that includes memories, histories, hopes and ambitions, socially constructed norms and implicit values. These multilayered forces come to bear on the architectural project yet are too elusive and nuanced to be captured through conventional means of architectural design, which predominantly emphasize visual-based approaches to design.I focus on design process to show that literary constructs-such as poetry, fiction, storytelling, and metaphor-are especially agile in rendering subtle yet essential forms of architectural knowledge that elude conventional tools of architectural research and practice. I draw on the very work that instigated this project: the English translation of architecturally trained Jewish-Polish author Bruno Schulz, whose metaphoric constructions are shown to engage language as a medium onto itself. My method follows a hermeneutic model that brings Schulz's prose in a dialogue with questions of concern for architecture: architectural representation, participation to locality, and engagement with world, matter, and making-all of which are specifically focused on the imaginative process of architectural inquiry. I bring to this conversation studies in philosophical hermeneutics, the history and theory of architecture, cultural history, as well as scholarship on Schulz, the mythic imagination, and cross-disciplinary studies, specifically those that focus on architecture and literature. I likewise bring my training in architecture and my experience as a designer, maker, and professor of design.Through an architectural reading of Schulz's prose, this dissertation's contribution is to position literary language as a mode of architectural inquiry that expands the arsenal of the architect's design tactics by engaging, distilling, and building upon forms of architectural knowledge that evade visually-focused design processes such as drawings, sketches, and models: I show that poetic language can operate as a form of process-oriented architectural representation to sustain architectural speculation as a dynamic field of play. I likewise show that literary practices draw on a stratified cultural imaginary and are especially deft at capturing the kind of place-specific knowledge that is implicit and elusive, including multi-sensory, temporal, atmospheric qualities of space. Finally, I argue that in their capacity to keep open self-contradictory or irreconcilable human questions and predicaments, literary constructions do not prematurely foreclose the generative potential of these complexities and can operate as a depository for thoughtful creative action that includes space-making practices. I complement my reading of Schulz with examples from pedagogy to convey that in its extended implications this capacity of the literary imagination allows it to saliently engage questions of human and environmental resilience.

520 $a Cette dissertation place l'imagination litteraire en position d'interlocuteur fertile face au processus de design et questionnement architectural. Sa premise est le projet architectural en son entiere complexite, soit qui s'etend au dela de l'objet, afin de souligner la reciprocite active entre l'environnement bati, la geographie et la localite culturelle, puis l'habitation humaine. Je prends pour acquis que l'architecture participe a une matrice multiculturelle qui inclue les souvenirs, les histoires, les aspirations et les ambitions, ainsi que les normes socialement construites et les valeurs implicites. Ces forces multicouches agissent sur le projet architectural tout en etant trop furtives et nuancees pour etre saisies via les moyens conventionnels de design architectural, c'est-a-dire les approches a predominance visuelle.Je focalise sur le processus de design afin de demontrer que les formes litteraires, telles que la poesie, la fiction, et le recit, sont particulierement agiles a depeindre les formes subtiles mais essentielles de savoirs architecturaux qui echappent aux outils conventionnels de la recherche et pratique architecturale. Je puise depuis l'oeuvre meme qui a initiee ce projet, soit la traduction anglaise de l'auteur judeo-polonais Bruno Schultz, forme en architecture, a qui l'utilisation particuliere d'une figure de style, la metaphore, exemplifie une participation au langage en tant que medium en soi. J'adopte comme methodologie un modele hermeneutique mettant en dialogue la prose de Schulz avec des sujets d'interet a l'architecture : la representation architecturale; la participation au lieu; puis, l'acte de s'engager vis-a-vis la matiere, dans celui de faire ainsi qu'avec le monde; chacun se concentrant specifiquement sur le processus imaginatif d'investigation architecturale. Je joints a cette conversation des recherches en hermeneutique philosophique, en histoire et theorie de l'architecture, en histoire culturelle, ainsi que portant sur Schultz, l'imagination mythique, puis des recherches interdisciplinaires, specifiquement celles qui considerent l'architecture et la litterature. J'y apporte egalement l'influence de ma formation en architecture et mon experience en tant que designer et personne qui s'engage dans l'acte de faire, ainsi qu'en tant qu'enseignante en design.Par le bias d'une lecture architecturale de la prose de Schultz, cette dissertation a pour contribution d'etablir que le langage litteraire comme mode d'investigation architecturale vient accroitre l'arsenal de tactics de design de l'architecte, comportant les esquisses, les maquettes et les dessins, du fait de s'engager avec, de distiller et de prendre appui sur les formes de savoirs architecturaux qui echappent a de telles formes visuelles du processus de design. J'etablis que le langage poetique peut agir en tant que forme de representation architecturale orientee sur le processus afin de soutenir la speculation architecturale comme champ de jeu dynamique. Je demontre que les pratiques litteraires puisent dans un imaginaire culturel stratifie et sont particulierement aptes a capter un savoir de nature implicite et furtif propre au lieu, notamment les qualites multi-sensorielles, multi-temporelles, et atmospheriques de l'espace. Finalement, je soutiens que dans leur capacite de maintenir ouvertes des questions et situations humaines auto-contradictoires et irreconciliables, les divers formes et procedes litteraires ne restreignent pas prematurement le potentiel generatif de ces complexites mais peuvent operer comme depositaire d'actions creatives reflechies au benefice de pratiques reliees a l'environnement bati. Je complete ma lecture de Schultz avec des exemples puises de la pedagogie architecturale afin d'impartir que cette capacite de l'imagination litteraire, considerant tout l'etendu de son influence, lui permet d'aborder des questions portant sur la resilience humaine et l'environnement.
