Patterns of Places as Means for Conceptualising — The Space and Buildings

Abstract

Different environments, different landscapes present different patterns which we see and experience. One of the challenges for architects and urban designers during the design phase is how to perceive environment and landscape as composition of several visible and invisible patterns and how they could be used accordingly. The examples that have been chosen in this research try to reflect different aspects of design indicated from the patterns of the place. The first case – University Center of Prishtina is primarily physical, the second - Dardania Neighbourhood in Gjakova is social and the third – Çabrati hill in Gjakova is psychological.
