Contemporary architecture is often characterized by the
total interpenetration of interior and exterior
configurations: the differentiation between these two
dialectical poles has become indistinguishable, boundaries
blurry and the result of any design process is a hybrid
product, based on the superposition of different and
heterogeneous layers. The impossibility of separating
interior and exterior permits a general reorganisation of
some topics internal to the territory of architecture, and
also expresses the necessity of a systemic analysis of the
most recent episodes. If at first glance this interest for
a new kind of dialectics may appear as the most evident
epiphenomenon of a wider and recent tendency, under
careful examination one can observe that the tension
between interior and exterior has always been present in
architecture, differently articulated over the centuries,
and expressed through several means of representation.
