Grietena, A., Latvia Univ. of Agriculture, Jelgava (Latvia)
Intensity of indoor/outdoor dialogue in the context of architectural history has rapidly evolved due to technological progress while the quality of environment expressed as harmony has proved to be of coincidental character. Reality reveals a pressing need to restore integrity, wholeness and harmony of environment, at the same time searching for a balance in the dialogue between interior and exterior space and a way to harmony in this complicated system. By analysing previous successful and unsuccessful examples in the architecture of publicly most sensitive objects in the re-established Latvia, one obtained a pyramid of subordinated guidelines to be used in architectural theory and practice in support of creating a harmonious architectural environment. The subject is of current importance not only among experts but in all levels of society: we all are users of this environment. In order to create a harmonious high-quality environment in the future, at first, one has to invest substantial resources in all levels of education; it will become a reflection of inner conflicts of a new concept of space, continue historical process of architectural development and introduce diverse approaches to harmonise indoor/outdoor space in a scientifically grounded way.
