Abstract

The perception of architecture is realized as a result of the metaphorical travel of the observer through the designed space, it is a specific reading of space at different levels of feeling. Designing is a scenario, user manual for those who are in this space. The aim was to examine the living space of two original authors concepts of multi-family residential buildings, based on the adopted architectural criteria, in terms of the credibility of feeling of the architecture of the living space. Moreover adopted criteria determines the quality of activities determining the condition of living. The method of logical argumentation was adopted for the research, interpreting selected original examples in order to conduct a critical analysis of the existing solutions. The result is a graphic record of repeatable floor plans of multi-family residential buildings, showing a veristic or virtual space as a factor of credibility of living. The conclusions present the method of shaping the architecture space in post-designed multi-family residential buildings based on the criterion of the credibility of feeling in the context of the image of a place in space.
