Space and place are among the most discussed
concepts in architecture. How do we
design urban spaces that actively address relationships between public and
private spheres? degrees of
separation and continuity. rays of light
which reveal the realm of shadows; solids which turn out to be voids. Structure, space and light are fused. And in doing so, they exemplify the types of
material and spatial experimentation that are vital to maintaining
architecture’s relevance. While space is an open
and abstract area, place is not considered as a subjective and abstract
concept, it rather is a location or a part of space which obtains its
particular identity. Escapes stylistic
categories, sometimes touching archetypal levels in experience. How could these concepts be created in architecture? building
does not attempt to stand out and compete for visual attention with its flashy
neighbours. architecture works with the slow wave
motions. Signs of ‘good’ commercial
development might typically include open, transparent boundaries between public
and private programs. indoor and outdoor rooms conducive to meditation. Rather than providing a safe space to step
outside (balcony) or a detachedly framed view of the skyline (window),
aggressively invite the outdoors in, thereby producing a heightened sense of
spatial continuity.
