Osmosis architecture – an aesthetic link between the past and the future
Changing the appearance of the superficiality of a form means transformation, and the basis for transformation is synonymous with the Greek term metamorphosis. Transformation describes a transitional state, the moments that accompany transformation, the fulfilment of an action, the playing out of a process, the accomplishment of the transformation of a subject or object. Metamorphosis seems to be or is a reference to something, a memory, an allusion to a process that is autonomous or endogenous – coming from within, triggered by internal factors. In this constant process of transformation, architecture can be likened to a living organism that is also subject to internal transformation, that is constantly undergoing a process of internal transformation. In these considerations it is crucial to show that transformation and metamorphosis are two ways of exploring one of the most important creations of civilisation, which are our cities, that the results of the transformation of specific fragments of cities are the results of design processes based on the idea of the creation of form in the process of its release in the conditions of existing reality.
