SPLOŠNI ORIS EKONOMIKE Z VIDIKA IZUMLJANJA PROSTORSKIH OBLIK

The field of architecture is closely connected with the invention of fresh shapes which objectify new interrelations. These relations exist either between materials, building blocks or between the users of shapes. Inventing shapes is directly linked to the totality of actions. The perfection of something stems from a good knowledge of problems and a clear definition of a problem. The theme of economics from the viewpoint of the invention of spatial forms originates in vernacular architecture, which is often associated with the term cultural heritage. This contribution presents some selected shapes or spatial structures which go beyond the notion of the local environment. All the examples contain a marked component of so-called economics in architecture. Spatial structures are presented analytically in their architectural and operational aspects. An analytical presentation of a structure ensures and enables a critical assessment which begins with the whole, shifts to details, and then returns to the whole. It is not unusual for a highly idealised view of heritage or a landscape to be an impediment to making decisions about the spatial values of individual structures or larger units. Conclusive findings underscore the function of identifying living environment values by using the methods of architectural analysis of space and the function of spatial structures.
