A corner house in an urban block – the sign of a place or towards a form predestined for originality
The topic of the paper are corner houses in an urban block and the accompanying uniqueness of form that results from the specific nature of their location in the urban structure. The study aims to demonstrate that there are currently attempts at implementation and reinterpretation of the solutions known from the past under new formal and aesthetic conditions. The study was conducted owing to the unique spatial specificity of the form of a corner house in urban development, which is predestined for original solutions and has always been a creative temptation to invent shapes that can aspire to the status of the local sign of a place. The subject of the study is corner buildings with a broadly understood residential purpose whose forms have a key impact on the recognition of co-created places. The basic research method is the analysis of selected developments. The research results indicate various spatial solutions of the bodies of corner houses, giving premises for the formulation of certain typologies and theoretical bases for the design of this type of buildings. On the basis of the research, conclusions were drawn on the principles of composing attractive forms of corner houses. This attractiveness can be achieved both by means of conservative and resultant solutions, as well as by creating the legible sign of a place through original forms which are frequently expressive in character.
