Movement in Architecture - Undergraduate Thesis

Figure 5

Apparently, movement cannot be related to architecture because buildings are static. Architects have long been trying to employ movement in their works. With the development of new interests and schools in architecture, this tendency has been growing recently more than ever. As a result, many types of relative research have been conducted, whether by studying a specific factor or architectural element or by defining new taxonomies. Two diagrams most relevant to the scope of this research can be extracted from these studies. Architectural movements are categorized in these diagrams.

This study divides movement types into three major groups: movement in relation to architectural form and space—where the existence of the explorer is not necessary and architecture involves embedded motion per se; movement of a spectator in relation to the built form; movement of an explorer in relation to the built space.
