Architecture of interiority (architecture of traces).
Architecture of traces
In a growing globalized world where ideas of connections, transparency and exposure are becoming commonplace, the need will arise to devise an architecture that addresses issues of identity and belonging by creating places that protect the INTIMATE. By looking at a culturally significant housing typology in Buenos Aires, Argentina, one can begin to understand how, one hundred years ago, it achieved a sense of intimacy while remaining modern (modern meaning that with very rational moves, it reaches a high level of simplicity and flexibility) and maintaining a site and culture -specific feel. An analysis and reinterpretation of its major architectural components lead to a formal and conceptual transformation that derived in the proposal of three PROTOTYPICAL URBAN INTERVENTIONS that explored the REFORMULATION of spatial relationships in order to create intimacy within a highly transparent volume. By reinventing a cultural typology one can engage in a discussion about IDENTITY. By creating spaces of intimacy within a world of exposure, it becomes possible to allow one's self to be expressed and thus to intensify and strengthen a feeling of BELONGING to a place. While exploring an architecture of INTERIORITY one can generate an architecture that allows for IMPRINTS to be made, and for TRACES to be read.
