Abstract
By interpreting the landscape, we try to feel the places, to become aware of the space, to feel its openness and infinity. Each new perspective shot opens up a new view. The senses play an important role in defining the spatial situation. As one gets to know a given space, the landscape becomes more 'familiar'. Each pause of the gaze gives time to create one's own image of the place. A well known area becomes a place. Public spaces are places of social contact. They give the opportunity to actively experience space and to meet other people. There is an ethic in the very way we participate in social life. Mutual respect and understanding result from the ability to "read values". Ethical thinking is sensitive to the affairs of others, it is the thinking of man about man. Public spaces inscribed in the structure of the city engage the viewer to make him aware of his own role in experiencing the surrounding reality. The aim of this article is to show the multidimensionality of space, which carries a range of sensations and experiences. A space that is comfortable and looks inviting changes the meaning of city architecture. The abyss of the sea evokes feelings of anxiety and alienation.
The airspace is an immensity of height and an unreachable shell. Places supported by patriotic feelings are an element of identification with a given space. Public spaces provide an appropriate setting for the monotonous fabric of the city.
