Las edades del espacio. Desarrollo de la concepción del espacio-tiempo físico y social en arquitectura.

This study challenges and expands upon Siegfried Giedion's theory of three spatial-temporal conceptions in architecture, arguing that the modern era introduced a radical shift in how space and time are perceived and utilized. It proposes a multidisciplinary framework to analyze the physical, mental, and social components of space-time in built environments, drawing on concepts like Bakhtin's 'cronotope.' Using Gerrit Rietveld's work, particularly the Schröderhuis, as a case study, the research demonstrates how modern architecture integrates dynamic spatiality, transparency, and multi-sensorial perception while critiquing bourgeois comfort norms. The study also evaluates the enduring relevance of Giedion's hypotheses by comparing them to contemporary architectural practices, suggesting that 'chronotopically' richer architectures persist regardless of adherence to modern ideals.
