| Tóm tắt: | This article discusses how the architecture of a building can, through the window frame, stimulate the appreciation of the landscape and cause the viewer to engage with it. This topic is developed from the perspective of the western notion of landscape, which emerged in the 15th century through painting, by means of the representation of nature. In architecture, the window assumes the role of a frame similar to the frame of a painting, framing portions of the landscape. In this sense, the windows provide a means to understand the notion of landscape given their position of mediation between the space that is outside and inside. When framing an external scene and thus bringing it into the building, the windows allow the viewer to assign meaning to external space, perceiving it as landscape. Thus, it is through the window that nature is framed and transformed into landscape, allowing the infinite to fit in the finite, the invisible to be found in the visible and so allowing the landscape to be glimpsed between the lines of the frame. By allowing that a certain portion of nature be cut, the framework becomes the means indispensable to the perception of the landscape. Keywords: landscape, window, framework. |
