The study aims to develop the theory of inbetween place . The inbetweens have
been important elements in architectural design as transitional and reconciling realms .
Architecture of place and its theories has been dominated the environmental design as
place -making . However , the inbetween environments have not been clarified in
significant , living place -forms for interval embodiment and systemic relationships
between juxtaposing places . Through inbetween places , domains in juxtaposition will
be comprehensively integrated as the whole . By a triangulation from three
standpoints—phenomenological , embodied realism , and neo -structuralism—through
case studies , the intrinsic characteristics and underlying essence of inbetween modes
of place is identified .
The study argues that inbetween places present themselves as living forms of
connectedness , embodied presence , and significant pauses . Distinctive inbetween
presences of place emerge from three frameworks—synthesized presence of place and
the inbetweens , embodied presence of the inbetweens , and presence of inbetween
“Significant Forms .” On presence of place and the inbetweens , inbetween places
reflect living forms of intervals as interconnecting mediums between neighboring places .
As an interval place , inbetween places , based on embodied presence , can be defined
as distinct body of junctions by organized complexity of edges . According to Langer’s
term “Significant Form” of place , inbetween places convey the symbolic presence of
associative , edging layers that clarify differences and spatial relations between
environmental juxtapositions .
From a framework triangulation , inbetween places manifest complex interval
domains of associative junctions as fundamental composite presences of : 1 ) defined
inbetween containments ; 2 ) active edging junctions or layers of juxtaposition ; and 3 )
associative layers with places in juxtaposition . The essential quality of concrete , interrelating junctions between places separates inbetween places from inbetween
placeless -ness . Inbetween places are intermediary domains creating vital and aesthetic
links between places in juxtaposition ; on the other hand , inbetween placeless -ness is
deprived of a significant place of meaningful interactions with nearby realms . Thus ,
inbetween places turn out to be critical domains to develop comprehensive relationships
between juxtaposing places , drawing different domains nearby to be bonded through
the presence of adaptive , edging layers of places . |
