Speed and ephemerality are the hallmarks of modernity and contemporary society. According to the historian Hartmut Rosa, "the history of modernity has been an ongoing process of social acceleration." Capitalism attaches value to rapid iterations and technology developments, thus generating perpetual pressure on contemporary social life. Under the pressure of an ever-increasing pace of social change, the need for deliberate slowness has emerged as a theoretical corrective. A series of contemporary practices regarding slowness, ranging from education, art, and media to science, sex, and investment, emerged in response to the 'speed culture'.To explore the aesthetic response and embodied experience of temporality and spatiality, this thesis draws on Merleau-Ponty's concepts of 'Body Schema', and proposes design frameworks that make slowness a tangible spatial form. The thesis categorizes the process of slowing down into two methods: the slowing down of objective time, which involves elongating the time spent physically in front of an object through deliberate indirect circulation and revealing vistas that encourage exploration and interaction; and the slowing down of subjective time, which focuses on creating an intimate embodied experience that deepens learning and reading of an object.Of particular interest in the current social context is the increasing need for aesthetic experience as an outcome of the social transformation from lack to affluence. This thesis concentrates on the museum as a place for valuing "slowness", since it embodies the cultural and historic past and is closely associated with time and the essence of people's being. However, research data shows that visitors to museums in America spend only 6-10 seconds on average looking at individual artworks, leading to a passive observation experience that sabotages equal communication and engagement in the art institution.To address this issue, the thesis proposes spatial strategies that elongate the encounter and slow down both subjective and objective time between observers and objects, creating a "slow" museum experience that empowers education. The proposed project turns the St. Ann's Warehouse, a 19th-century tobacco warehouse located in Brooklyn's Dumbo neighborhood with scenic views of the Manhattan skyline, into a platform for practicing the slow museum experience. The building features an open floor plan and 23' height brick masonry exterior envelopes that provide opportunities for spatial design that encourage exploration on both horizontal and vertical planes. The industrial aesthetic of the warehouse, featuring exposed brick walls and arch openings that reveal the surrounding landscape, contributes to a timeless ambiance that facilitates visitor engagement with the architecture at their own pace.The proposed thesis project combines the historical building of St. Ann's Warehouse with the art collection from Herbert and Dorothy Vogel to create an immersive art appreciation experience that emphasizes artistic exchange and engagement. The aim of this project is to transform the St. Ann's Warehouse into a museum that prioritizes the experience of slowing down, enabling visitors to engage with the artworks and the space at their own pace and fostering cultural communication and exchange.
