Form and meaning in architectural theory
Forma i značenje u arhitektonskoj teoriji
İzmir University, Izmir, Turkey
Abstract
Often architectural theory has been articulated on prescriptive views about what architecture should be, rather than on views formulated from historical experiences and examples of architecture. In this paper I will try to offer readings of architectural form by looking at a historical example from classical Ottoman architecture and at contemporary examples, to show how different architectures treat form. In examples taken from Sinan's architecture, symbols are investigated in relation to movement, to urban settlement, to religion and power. It is hoped that this analysis will offer an understanding of how the significance of architecture in human experience and in the urban context goes beyond structure and function.
Sažetak
Često je arhitektonska teorija bilo jasno izražena propisanim stavovima o tome šta bi arhitektura trebalo da bude, pre nego stavovima formulisanim od istorijskih iskustava i primera arhitekture. U ovom radu ću pokušati da ponudim čitanje arhitektonske forme gledajući istorijski primer iz klasične otomanske arhitekture i savremene primere, pokazujući kako različite arhitekture tretiraju formu. U primerima Sinanove arhitekture, simboli su istraživani u odnosu na kretanje, urbani sklop, religiju i moć'. Ideja je da će ova analiza ponuditi razumevanje značaja arhitekture u okvirima ljudskog iskustva i urbanog konteksta koji dopire izvan strukture i funkcije.
