Practise beyond context : seeking for difference

Abstract

Abstract Outside platform sets the framework for research into architectural practice by examining the conditions of contemporary context. The OUTSIDE project proposes the notion of otherness by rethinking the existing architectural concepts materialized in practice, while striving to structure new mechanisms for their interpretation. In this way, selected projects become elements for the interpretation of reality - a radical critique of modern society, the genesis of the multiple layers of perception or the experience of the impossible. One of the main intentions was to underline the capacity of a regional scene for producing architectural newness beyond the local framework of architectural education, regulations and structural patterns of the practice. The presented research argues that formal regulations and conditions of architectural practice are inversely proportional to the innovative approaches in architecture.
