For this reason, it investigates both the theoretical and concrete manner of the spatial expression within an imposed contemporary Foucauldian state of disciplines. Therefore, the research methodology simultaneously develops two different hypotheses in order to bridge the gap between the theoretical explorations and concrete dimension of architectural creation. The primary hypothesis is based on the Lacanian dimension of doubt that is considered in this work as the Chomskyan primitive power that gives birth to every idea or concept, having the potential to exasperate the radical imaginary of each society such as it is defined in Castoriadis' writings. The second main hypothesis is based on an analytical exploration of space creation within strict political and economical contexts. For this purpose, a post-Soviet country served as a case study in order to investigate the cultural landscape values in both communist and capitalist regimes. Hence, focusing on Armenia and especially on Yerevan's landscape transformations during the transition from communism to capitalism, this article first departs from the need to employ a deep theoretical analysis of non-economic factors in order to guide capitalist societies through cooperation with the disadvantaged social structure that has no space in today's megacities and, second, details an original landscape creation sketched by a real recent architectural competition that is seen here as a contemporary Foucauldian state of disciplines. The main object of the architectural composition presented in this contribution is to fulfil the competitions' guidelines - having in mind, however, consolidation of the imposed image of global capitalism with local elements in order to form a Foucauldian heterotopia by allowing different socio-cultural identities to debate, contest or doubt the proposed iconic spatial expression. The article offers a new approach regarding the notion of doubt seen here as a positive element of architectural practice by proposing its continuous existence in the conceptual dimension of architectureCilj članka so opredelitev in obravnava radikalnih družbeno-kulturnih pristopov oblikovanja pokrajine v današnjih megamestih znotraj strogega kapitalističnega konteksta ter razpravljanje o njih. V ta namen je v članku teoretično in na primeru preučen prostorski izraz znotraj vsiljenega sodobnega foucaultovskega "stanja znanosti". V okviru raziskovalne metodologije sta tako sočasno uporabljeni različni hipotezi, ki naj bi premostili vrzel med teoretičnim preučevanjem in stvarnim vidikom arhitekturnega ustvarjanja. Glavna hipoteza temelji na lacanovskem konceptu dvoma. V članku je dvom upoštevan kot chomskyjanska primitivna sila, ki oblikuje vsakršno zamisel ali koncept in lahko pokvari "radikalno imaginacijo" vsake družbe, kot jo v svojih delih opredeljuje Castoriadis. Druga glavna hipoteza temelji na analitični študiji ustvarjanja prostora znotraj strogih političnih in gospodarskih kontekstov, v okviru katere so na primeru nekdanje Sovjetske zveze preučene vrednote kulturne pokrajine v komunističnem in kapitalističnem režimu. Največ pozornosti se posveča Armenijiin zlasti preobrazbi pokrajine v prestolnici Erevan med prehodom iz komunizma v kapitalizem. V članku so najprej podrobno teoretično obravnavani neekonomski dejavniki, na podlagi katerih bi morale kapitalistične države upoštevati potrebe socialno šibkejših družbenih skupin, ki nimajo prostora v današnjih megamestih, nato pa je podrobno predstavljena izvirna zasnova pokrajine v okviru novejšega arhitekturnega natečaja, ki ga tu razumemo kot sodobno foucaultovsko "stanje znanosti". Glavni cilj predstavljene arhitekturne zasnove je izpolnitev razpisnih pogojev in pri tem združitev vsiljene podobe globalnega kapitalizma z lokalnimi prvinami. Pri tem naj bi se oblikovala foucaultovska heterotopija, in sicer tako, da se različnim družbeno-kulturnim identitetam omogoči, da razpravljajo o predlagani ikonični prostorski podobi, jo izpodbijajo ali vanjo podvomijo. Avtorja v članku ponudita nov pristop h konceptu dvoma, ki ga obravnavata kot pozitivno prvino "arhitekturne prakse", in predlagata njegovo stalno prisotnost v idejni razsežnosti arhitektureTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUrbanistični inštitut Republike Slovenije
