ABSTRACT
This chapter provides the difference between continuity and change and ecstatic care by referring to the metaphysical assumptions underpinning Norberg-Schulz's approach to temporality. It discusses the implications of Norberg-Schulz's "neglect of the question of the being of the intentional". The chapter discusses the characteristics of the proposed way of questioning this oversight, the art of care. The art of care provides a way to overcome these assumptions and reveal the architectural significance of Heidegger's ontological understanding of human care. The art of care represents a way of saying that the loss of place is a loss of 'nearness' and that nearness depends on Dasein's ability to poetically draw the world, the self and others close. The art of care aims to find the source of architecture's ability to 'touch our hearts' by reaching beyond 'perceiving intentions' and focusing on the 'Being of the intentional'.
