STON AREA MATRIX IN TIME LANDSCAPE CONTINUUM
Abstract
Understanding the genesis of urban landscape defined by fields/urban matrix, lines and points in time continuum is crucial as a pre-method for composing new structures concerning their position, form and purpose. Ston urban landscape has been formed spontaneously and by planning throughout a long period of time. It developed into an organised whole of landscape and its structures. That harmonious unity is in constant change. Such time-spatial dynamics ought to be accepted as a precondition for contemporary design, so transformations of landscape, spatial interrelations as well as relations towards physical geography have been perceived and analysed. Many layers of human activities have been imprinted into landscape throughout the centuries in Ston area. While they differ in form and originally intended function, they often share the organizational principle of a grid, or an n-dimensional matrix. Such inheritance demands that every intervention adds a particle to a long-term scale of time-landscape continuum. Transposing demands of modernity into physical presence leads to reinterpretation of geometrical principles of existing forms. Would reflections of contemporary responding to new needs be up to the challenge of continuing: respecting, yet acting?
