Abstract

In the historical Development from static to dynamic perception of space, there are
concomitant changes in the concept of architectural style. Materials become lighter,
structures more kinetic, and spaces less bounded and more energetic. Beyond the
traditional static perception of space, our task is to examine the influence of
digitization on architecture. It would be more significant to construct a new idea of
anachronistic architecture, by exploring the borders between the material and the
cyber world. Advanced concepts of equilibrium and a new sense of weight (antigravity
architecture), would finally lead to a new concept of space expressing the
essence of movement; yielding to a new concept of beauty based on energy.
Energy is the basic element of this new language, since it is capable of articulating
force and dynamic space in a new architectural form, where elementary themes from
static compositions arranged on basic tectonic principles are significantly altered to
become a new theme for a new dynamic composition, where mobility and
immateriality are its main tendencies. Turbulence and explosion of architectural
volumes become a recurrent theme in the flow of surfaces, creating a new sense of
equilibrium which we may call: "fragile equilibrium."
