ONE THEORY OF BROKEN ARCHITECTURE

Vladimir Milenković

ABSTRACT

Broken architecture is fulfilling the aesthetical gap made by its intention to envelope life and intention to be enveloped by the same. The theory of curtain state can reach boundaries far beyond physical appearance touching fields of narratives, immaterial and surreal. It’s altered (problematic, questionable) reflection to the rest of the world is the fountainhead of its designing values. Despite being contradict to its own reality, architecture of this characteristics cannot exist without clear conceptual constellation to the future of that world. Therefore this theoretical approach casts light on the practice which is being alive only by the continuity of the memories on its pre-shape aesthetical conditions.

By recalling the mannerist liberation from the rational plan we can still operate within ideas of Paladio’s stylistic layering of the architectural plasticity (Villa Foscari) going further into the Tschumi’s notion of the state of deconstruction (Villa Savoya) we are facing nowadays pure necessity to live the broken as a new form of architectural resistance.

Key words: mannerism, structural deconstruction, immateriality, surreal
