Biography

Ioana Ardelean is student at „Ion Mincu" University of Architecture and Urbanism Bucharest. Her interests are in architecture and urbanism, but also studied ballet. Her professional activity includes working with Dorin Stefan Office of Architecture and Dinoiu-Pop Architecture in Bucharest but also long range practice trips and workshops like Amman-Jordan, Tunis- Tunisia and Ghent- Belgium. Among her projects are Edification des lieux et paysage (project for Rahova site, Bucharest), Uranus-Rahova 24 ("Va Urma " movement for urban and cultural regeneration), The bridge urban room (TransCentral-Urban- Bucharest project). This year she is preparing her diploma work on a subject conected to seeds laboratories and seeds bank spaces on a formal opencast mining communist site, on the northern part of Romania.

 
Abstract

The aim of this paper is to discover an essential quality of analogous spaces, and to answer the question whether
there is a matrix or a specific executable for generating such spaces or not; or if there is at least one quality of these spaces to be identified as major and suit in a matrix.This implies first understanding analogous spaces. If the processes of accumulating, storing, transforming and transferring information stand at the basis of analogous spaces, it is clear that
these spaces have to comprise a common set of qualities. As it results from the reference to analog devices seems that
ananalogous space could be defined as a continuous field. Any field is the expression of a changing energy state , or as the space where the interaction potential energy between two elements is acting. The notation of a choreograph on the harmonious movement into a space can offer new types of space analysis and space generating mechanisms, if space is the field of the users/generators. The generative elements of the space take particular states, shapes or qualities in order to reach one specific need. A particular situation would be when this space would also fit the harmonic criteria of a space that is both functional and aesthetic.
