Spatialization as a Special Form of the Spatial Organization of the City, Objectifying Social Existence

Abstract

The article discusses the origin of the concept of spatialization (from Latin spatium — space) and the nature of its use in architectural science. The concept is presented as the name of the action aimed to create a model of an economically effective social space. The action initiated by the initiative group at the moments of etherialization is a strong-willed thought act which leads to a general spatial explosion of a place in the city, that is, to its explosive redrawing for the sake of increasing its economic efficiency, for the sake of strengthening its political value, for the sake of the adequacy of the semantic content and, if possible, the fullness of its existence. Architecture today (both theory and practice) grasps the meanings of this kind of change. Keywords—spatialization; architectural space; urban space; accelerated city; dynamic social space
