THE IDEA OF SPACEThe concept of space is an important architectural element that distinguishes it from other artistic activities. It is the three-dimensional aspect of space in which a person can find himself. A painting is simply two-dimensional, even if the artist could introduce other dimensions into it, the viewer can only see the painting on a flat canvas. The sculpture is three-dimensional, yet people can see it from the outside and immediately identify with it. The architecture is very much like a large statue that has simply been sculpted from the inside so that one can live and inhabit it from the inside. From this perspective, architectural space is not only the image of the places where we and our heritage have lived, but above all it is the type of environment or stage in which life actually takes place. Architectural space is a space that is found within normal human activities and the relationships and events that we go through on a daily basis. One of the greatest architects who introduced this aspect into the buildings he built is Frank Lloyd Wright. Frank Lloyd Wright was born on June 8, 1867. He was an American educator, writer, and architect responsible for designing more than 1000 different structures. He was one of the first architects to break with the concept of eclecticism and introduced a new style based on the special connection of interpenetrating planes and abstract masses. His vision in life was to emphasize the importance of machines in architecture and its origins on sensibility, arts and crafts. Frank Lloyd Wright also focused on the relationship of the human body to space and surrounding nature using the architectural language of symbolic geometry. F...... half of the sheet ......Univ. by Mr. Peter Blake of Washington. (January 1, 1964). An excellent book for understanding the background of Frank Lloyd Wright. This book helped to understand his other projects which advocate the use of free and floating spaces in his various projects.9) Leonardo Benevolo. 1971. History of modern architecture. vol. 2. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press. Explains modern architecture and the new concept of space. I will also explain how other architects have used these architectural theories in their projects.10) Ursel Berger. 2006. "Barcelona Pavilion: Mies Van Der Rohe & Kolbe: Architektur & Plastik = Barcelona Pavilion: Mies Van Der Rohe & Kolbe: Architecture and Sculpture." Jovis. I will use some of the images and drawings in this book to understand the fluid spaces it has attempted to encompass. Understand the use of sculpture to emphasize free space.
