Contingency of an architectural critical approach

Abstract

Contemporariness of architecture can be interpreted in diverse ways. Starting from a basically formulated modern context, which is even nowadays understood as such, in which the limits of stability of the architectural profession are examined, our concern is the designer's intention to research within a wider cultural context. We are actually considering the capacities of the profession for continuous development of its own critical apparatus. Through the question of the relation between the general and the individual, followed by the question of integrity and proportion of architectural effect, but also by the role of media and digitalization of the world, in the focus of this text projected are the scenes of reality filled with the values of architecture willing to develop, within itself, the analytical and synthetic concepts relying on the contextual, but also on the own indetermination and instability regarding the concept of the space and time.

Savremenost arhitekture se može tumačiti na različite načine. Polazeći od još uvek bazično formulisanog modernog konteksta u kojem se ispituju granice stabilnosti arhitektonske profesije radi se o projektantskoj nameri da se u širem kulturnog kontekstu istraže kapaciteti profesije za razvijanje sopstvenog kritičkog aparata. Kroz pitanje odnosa opšteg i pojedinačnog, zatim pitanja integriteta i razmere arhitektonskog delovanja, ali i uloge medija i digitalizacije sveta, u centru istraživanja projektuju se kadrovi stvarnosti čiji prostorno-vremenski sadržaj ispunjavaju vrednosti arhitekture spremne da u sebi razvija analitičke i sintetičke koncepte oslonjene na kontekstualnu, ali i sopstvenu neodređenost i nestabilnost.
