THE “IN-BETWEEN SPACES” – IN-BETWEEN CULTURAL AND PERFORMATIVE PARADIGMS
Session
Architecture and Spatial Planning
Description
Globalisation and modern living patterns have challenged and put in vain most of the traditional and regional patterns of space formation and its capacity to “fit” specific cultural and climatic constraints. In the other hand, the quest and urge for energy efficiency has brought back the attention towards traditional patterns, elements, components and systems as effective, low-cost and culturally accepted solutions. This paper focuses in the “in-between spaces” such as inner courtyards, atriums, patios and alike, as one the oldest and most widespread systems of composing space, especially in the architecture of housing. The structure of this paper is two fold, first the method consists of filed mapping and analysis of residential buildings with “in-between spaces” in Kosovo, analyzing their spatial structure using Space Syntax as analytical tool, also revealing their social, political and religious patterns as well as their energy performance. Second, the paper derives and presents a study with a variety of spatial and formal solutions for residential buildings in specific urban or sub-urban contexts, using the existing regional paradigms with “in-between spaces” as composing systems, while examining and revealing their cultural and performative capacities as paradigms for 21 century habitats.

THE “IN-BETWEEN SPACES” – IN-BETWEEN CULTURAL AND PERFORMATIVE PARADIGMS
Pristina, Kosovo
Globalisation and modern living patterns have challenged and put in vain most of the traditional and regional patterns of space formation and its capacity to “fit” specific cultural and climatic constraints. In the other hand, the quest and urge for energy efficiency has brought back the attention towards traditional patterns, elements, components and systems as effective, low-cost and culturally accepted solutions. This paper focuses in the “in-between spaces” such as inner courtyards, atriums, patios and alike, as one the oldest and most widespread systems of composing space, especially in the architecture of housing. The structure of this paper is two fold, first the method consists of filed mapping and analysis of residential buildings with “in-between spaces” in Kosovo, analyzing their spatial structure using Space Syntax as analytical tool, also revealing their social, political and religious patterns as well as their energy performance. Second, the paper derives and presents a study with a variety of spatial and formal solutions for residential buildings in specific urban or sub-urban contexts, using the existing regional paradigms with “in-between spaces” as composing systems, while examining and revealing their cultural and performative capacities as paradigms for 21 century habitats.
