Buildings speak to us
Zgrade nam govore
Abstract
Starting with a critical view of the general architectural and urban structures of today my paper will present buildings comparable to the body, thus their expression and the meanings they invoke will be presented as a language of form that affect the behavior and psychology of urban residents. Referring to the architectural criticisms of George Bataille, it is argued that the physicality of buildings are valuable insofar as they transcend materiality and lead to symbols and spirituality. Buildings are viewed as presenting different characteristics and attitudes depending on their form. Architecture is also viewed as the product of labour and thus a communal creation that has its roots in the origins of human culture. Each different institution has evolved historically from different senses becoming cultural articulations and resulting in architectures that connect people in enjoyment of shared interests. It is further argued that urban and spatial forms that are confusing as to their boundaries and appertainance can cause confusion and negative reactions. Thus it is important that urban forms' language is positive and clear.
Sažetak
Polazeći od kritičkog pogleda na opšte arhitektonske i urbanističke strukture današnjice, ovaj rad će predstaviti zgrade koje se mogu porediti sa telom, tako što će njihov izraz i značenja koja imaju biti predstavljeni kao jezik forme koji utiče na ponašanje i psihologiju stanovnika u urbanim sredinama. Pozivajući se na arhitektonsku kritiku Žorža Bataja (George Bataille), tvrdi se da su fizički aspekti građevina značajni u onoj meri u kojoj prevazilaze materijalnost i vode ka simbolima i duhovnosti. Zgrade se posmatraju kao različite karakteristike i stavovi u zavisnosti od oblika. Arhitektura se takođe posmatra kao produkt rada i samim tim javna tvorevina koja svoje korene vuče iz korena ljudske kulture. Sve različite institucije su se istorijski razvijale iz različitih čula, postajući kulturna artikulacija i rezultirajući arhitekturama koja povezuje ljude u uživanju u zajedničkim interesovanjima. Dalje se tvrdi da urbani i prostorni oblici koji su zbunjujući u pogledu svojih granica i namena mogu izazvati konfuziju i negativne reakcije. Stoga je važno da jezik urbanih oblika bude pozitivan i jasan.
