Abstract:
The article discusses on an architectural style referred as interpenetration that blurs the demarcation between the inside and outside elements of a subject. The article discusses interpenetration through the examination of Walter Benjamin on Giuseppe Terragni's and Franco Albini's works. Albini viewed interiority and exteriority as the interpenetration of the constructed and the natural worlds. Terragni puts in a form of 'inwardness' to his work. Benjamin, on the other hand, merges nature and technology and primitiveness and comfort.
