EnglishArchitecture can be interpreted as a system of symbols, describable through spatial perception and representation (image 1). There is a constant in every individual’s life: the urban landscape. In fact, every day, for different reasons, we observe the road fronts that, with their building’s façades, defne the physiognomy of the city. Our perceptions can be spontaneous or not, but certainly it will be the facade of a building that has the greatest impact on us, regardless of its structure, its characteristics and its function. The façade is the visiting card of a building and the fIrst impression aroused will dictate, from childhood to adulthood, the succession, conscious and unconscious, of emotions and behaviors consequent even only to sight and not necessarily to its use. The representation of each façade will be linked to the need to meet constructive, formal and meaningful needs. The trace that the meaning leaves on the shape is the architectural character of the building, which emerges on the surface. The surface of the artifacts carries with it an architectural language that reinterprets the pre-existing ones, with the intention to make tangible the operations that link the components of the architecture to a set of meanings. In this way the decoration is not only an ornamental element, but semantics that crystallizes images loaded with linguistic symbols.

| Abstract: | Architecture can be interpreted as a system of symbols, describable through spatial perception an...d representation (image 1). There is a constant in every individual’s life: the urban landscape. In fact, every day, for different reasons, we observe the road fronts that, with their building’s façades, defne the physiognomy of the city. Our perceptions can be spontaneous or not, but certainly it will be the facade of a building that has the greatest impact on us, regardless of its structure, its characteristics and its function. The façade is the visiting card of a building and the fIrst impression aroused will dictate, from childhood to adulthood, the succession, conscious and unconscious, of emotions and behaviors consequent even only to sight and not necessarily to its use. The representation of each façade will be linked to the need to meet constructive, formal and meaningful needs. The trace that the meaning leaves on the shape is the architectural character of the building, which emerges on the surface. The surface of the artifacts carries with it an architectural language that reinterprets the pre-existing ones, with the intention to make tangible the operations that link the components of the architecture to a set of meanings. In this way the decoration is not only an ornamental element, but semantics that crystallizes images loaded with linguistic symbols. |
