O Terceiro Elemento - A concretização dos limites do espaço.

Abstract

The essay focuses on the study of what is the space, what it comprises and the identification of methods and tools that assist us in the art of shaping the environment around us. It develops thus in the awareness of our capabilities and limitations of action, trying to have repercussions in the act of thinking the project. Therefore, though not openly addressed nor in a holistic way to the creative process, is precisely here that it fits when trying to support this process a bit more. When we redirection the attention of the study of space - singular entity - for the study of organization of spaces, we realize a paradigm change with the role that each spatial element assumes in the composition. Due to the contiguity of the spatial entities and the need to implement their extremities arises the symbiosis of limits and the relativism between each two confronted spaces. It's in this new framework that emerges the third element of the spatial organization. An element of a certain autonomy and intimacy, because while conferring body to the limits, mediates confronting sides. It is, thus, the moment in which the spaces become real and concentrates in itself all sensory phenomena.
