And that is through the contributions that the student of architecture makes today and the future architect in different cities and countries. Therefore, building a student of architecture intellectually, ideologically and technically is not less important in any way than the interest in studying international architectural projects. From this point of view, it is necessary to think and analyze the consequences of the current global situation from the outbreak of the Covid-19 epidemic, for the second year in a row, and the consequences of this global situation on architectural education in Arab universities.

This research discusses the confusion between contemporary and modernist architectural representation, comparatively, by analyzing Western and Arab visions. The research also aims to analyze the impact of modernism, the semantic evolution of 'modernity' and, our arrival to the contemporary; in light of neoliberalism and globalism.","PeriodicalId":362310,"journal":{"name":"Arts and Architecture Journal","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116897188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this aspect, Lissitzky Fontana, occupied two different directions in their perception of space, and they expressed their ideas in forms that took into account the scientific aspect. The research question in this regard was whether they actually met in form and content with the physicists' perception of the universe. From this point of view, the research we are dealing with revolves around many research aspects related to the relationship of art with science since the emergence of modernist and experimental philosophies, and the cosmic vision and its impact on physics and art after it was associated with the work that is related to space, “spatialism”, in the concept of infinity in cosmos and dynamism and the impact of mechanical and electromagnetic philosophy on the arts that describe the two fields: electric and magnetic which formed a cosmic vision for the Rayonists in art and between the force and the energy of the void with the designations of zero.","PeriodicalId":362310,"journal":{"name":"Arts and Architecture Journal","volume":"2013 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121358742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The researcher assumes the possibility of determining the plastic and aesthetic variables of the concept of space in postmodern arts, identifying contemporary art movements that use space as a basic element, determining the methods and methods of their plastic artists, and identifying technological influences and media that contribute to raising the value of space in form in artistic works. contemporary.

To identify selections from the methods of artists who use space in their works in postmodern arts and to raise the aesthetic value of space by identifying the plastic influences and media that contribute to the formation of aesthetic space in postmodern arts.
