Reading the space through ornamentation

Abstract

Canada real is a specific linear site outside of Madrid, occupied by low-income inhabitants. The site is fragmented into 5 sectors; however, in terms of building typology, atmosphere, and culture, it is much more diverse in each of the sections. With the filter of ornamentation as my individual topic, i investigated this strip. ornamentation has a rich historical background in architecture and the impulse of ornamentation not only leads to enhancing the formal and structural qualities, but also fills the need of visual and sensual pleasure, which helps the viewer to communicate with the space. The strip was quite divers in terms of typology, materialisation and ornamentation. as a viewer of the space one not only communicates with the space itself but also with its visual aspect. There are various vectors based on which space can be perceived differently. ornamentation is capable of creating uncommon feelings and impressions due to composing common elements. The combination of ordinary elements of a building such as walls and floor and blocks can be read as an ornament only because of an uncommon combination; ornament is neutral in its language but it is playful in its form. layered and in-between spaces, combination of different fragments, and the relation of different characteristics as the main ideas i took from the mapping led me to the idea of a bridge as an architectural space. This bridge is the combination of different characteristics in one, while itself is positioned as a pause between two spaces, uniting them. The program inside is not fixed and can change based on the needs. Because the variety of the characteristics in architectural aspect, the program also is diverse. In this bridge, everyone can have their own pathway, they can wander around narrow and small spaces inside and explore their own spatial interpretation of the bridge. ?
