Before becoming a building, every object initially exists as an idea. Any work of art is always pre-conceived. So all the time it only exists in the imagination of those who create it. It only becomes architecture after it has been built, when it has fulfilled its function for people.
The building itself is only a concretization of an intention or an idea that is based on some worldview. Everything we do is based on our understanding of existence in the world. It is difficult to define a general framework of awareness, all specific is everyone’s experience. It is more specific, the same things surprise us in different ways. As a result, there is a constant process of reflection and comparison of our own experience with the experience of others in search of coincidences that can tell us something about a phenomenon or object.
We can only fully appreciate our own experience. Works of art are its direct embodiment. They reflect experience, which transmits the spirit of the time to posterity. Every time we look at a work of art, previous experience is activated, the work comes alive and allows us to experience the feelings that the author had at the time of creation. That is, the personal experiences of two people overlap, creating a “shared vision” that allows us to feel part of a single whole – the universe.
For example, if we live in a place where our ancestors lived, we can feel that we are indeed in the same world. The reality of architecture is very powerful and complete. The architectural experience is indivisible from the understanding of the space in which we live. The transcendent dimension of architecture is that architecture is reality itself-the backdrop to the life that takes place in it.
Asthenic architecture must create symbols that allow the created space to be embodied through it. The connection is possible if one uses architectural symbols that originate in spatial archetypes that are perceived through natural symbols.
