The Flavors of space in architecture: a study of its adaptation in spatial progression

Abstract

The emotions of man are directly linked with art which of course is an expression of human sprit. By contemplating life and nature an artifact is derived by the artist. Thisinvolvement of human emotions in the making of art is clearly seen in the artifact, where the gestures of human feelings become a permanent motif, a flavor. Architecture falls into that category which is identified as art forms. It concretizes human emotional responses to the stimuli of his environment, where a flavor essentially is generated. In the hands of the architect, hollowness or spaces are molded and charged with a flavor. However, architectural experience is a dynamic one of syntax of spaces rather than that of a single, isolated and static one. What is of importune in architecture is how the casual perceiver, the percipient is taken through the syntax of spaces. In this context where the experience of flavors in architecture is taken into Account the relationships of flavors and the transformation from one flavor to another in a building becomes far more crucial. With the correct and skillful handling of flavors, the orchestration of a spatial progression is dramatized and filled with excitement and novelty. In the modern society, man is living a routine rather than a life. The monotony of life may lead him into hazardous situations. The importance of art forms is brought into light as they could break the monotony of life. Further to this, it can be stated that since it is the living environment of man which becomes an artifact with it, a work of architecture becomes crucial than any other.
