Interior Pathways through the Building – Architecture and the Sphere of Emotions

• Languages of publication: PL

Abstracts

From the architectural tendencies and styles of the last decades new phenomena are emerging – buildings are not designed on a basis of formal transformations but rather as intricate arrangements of interior pathways. Simultaneously, there is a noticeable pursuit towards achieving specific quality of architecture – where it does not remain neutral, exerts an impact on the observer and evokes emotions. The article explores the two above mentioned tendencies as mutually interrelated. It discusses their origins and reveals that while outlining the important characteristics of the contemporary architecture they arise from early modern concepts. Today’s abysmal foyers where different species of ramps and trajectories let the observer go through space and experience various environments are the continuation of the aesthetic and architectural ideas that evolved in the beginning of twentieth century. The currently ongoing process in which buildings are trespassing the characteristics of stable structures and rather refer to imaginative geographies and landscapes is one of the immediate effects of that continuation. While deeply imbedded in history – it also opens architecture to new spheres of explorations.
