Descrierea proiectului

New collisions of elements within space ever more strongly demonstrate the disruption of unique entities via the transformations of any micro homogeneous space to the heterogeneous one. The unique, compact, solid structures, the ones that can not be disassembled almost disappeared. Rapid progress of urban changes has influenced the city so hasty that such complex phenomena often remain unexplained. Moreover, the possibility for their transformation into new concepts has not yet been explored. The importance of this issue arises from the fact that the city, as the most complex artifact, can be regarded as the most representative example of a heterogeneous structure – diverse, composed of parts of different kinds. The complexity of the city is analyzed fragmentarily. It starts from a single image – one flash that reflects the cityscape. This approach doesn’t neglect one moment to another, nor is the selected fragment the only sample of space transformation, but the experiment seeks to document and analyse a series of a different housing changes of the cityscape transformations in order to obtain parameters that would be relevant to a such complex spatiality. The proposed methodology doesn’t stop the research of one image in the moment of detection of the basic indicators of the change, it requires far deeper research revealing all the finesses of the other fragments that could be important for the intersection with the current image. Every man creates a distinctive occurrence of his interior space, and for us – a new image. Each of these individual images forms a space around itself, thus producing a scale of different impressions that trigger reactions of our mind and body. It seems that everything that is absent becomes present through the dynamic relationship of urban structural elements. Countless air negatives of the static and rigid parts of the collective housing become recognised through the images of limitless color value of the indoor landscape where the interpretation of the process might be initiated, but it could never end. It is precisely at this level that materiality reflects the human activity, which in turn creates new reality – by showing its own actuality. What is this form of life that combines so many different human lives into a single image? Are those traces of lives the ones that should be decoded by the architect as an essence for his (her) emerging ideas?
