ABSTRACT
The Semiotics of Movement in Space examines how we move through the interior spaces of buildings and interact with objects in those spaces. Primarily using the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA), a prominent contemporary art museum in Sydney, Australia, to analyse and interpret movement and space relations, this book provides new developments and applications of spatial semiotics as it proposes that we can use movement as a semiotic resource to transform the meaning potential of a particular space. How an exhibition space has been presented to us by the semiotic designers-the curator and the architect-may not necessarily be the way we experience it, and it is how we use something that contributes to its meaning. Can a church still be considered a church if we use it as a home?
