A Space for Reflection, Here and Now
Abstract
This article focuses on the issue of functionality in architecture and gradually analyses it, from the nearest to ourselves, most minor, to the most capacious scale. Our living space, our home, our local public spaces, our cities, but have they always been ours? Did they not belong to past generations, hold other contexts, and occupy another time? What saved these spaces from becoming forgotten, lost and ultimately destroyed? Intermediate Forms are architectural reflections on times in between the past and the future, the moments that occupy the present. They are a specific links between what was and what is yet to come. In their provenance, they were created as a precise response to the needs of the past. Needs that have changed or even vanished as time progressed. They are the relics of the past; their affordance reaffirms their quality.
This is not only functional architecture.
These interiors are not just static.
These are evolving forms.
It is all that has grown beyond need.
