Problem statement: One of the primary reasons for the creation or development of buildings is to accommodate the ongoing and potential activities of individuals. However, the current focus on purely physical expansion has diminished human activities at building edges and reduced the sense of connection between buildings and the urban environment. This study seeks to identify the factors influencing immanent connections in architecture and urban settings.
Research objective: The connections between buildings and urban areas are defined as a collection of factors in which the institution plays a central role as a social agent, linking small and large scales, and is characterized by both formal and functional attributes. This study aims to provide an operational definition of the concept of institution within the context of the selected study area, exploring the attributes of institutions and non-institutions and their roles in establishing immanent connections.
Research method: This qualitative study employs an emancipatory paradigm, utilizing ethnographic strategies and grounded theory. It follows a cyclical and interactive process of data collection, summarization, visualization, and evaluation.
Conclusion: The study identifies nine indicators of an institution: familiarity, time, motivation, details, transparency, enclosure, permeability, relationships, and perspective. These indicators serve as objective criteria that collectively describe the characteristics of institutions. The elucidation of the concept of “non-institution” serves to liberate the definition of “institution” from the constraints imposed by repetitive and mundane interpretations. Non-institutions are generative ideas that create and nourish institutions, such as concepts related to cultural contexts, customs, beliefs, and all that connects individuals. Consequently, the characteristics of institutions act as a bridge linking us to non-institutions. Therefore, immanent connection in architecture and urban settings signifies the extent to which non-institutions are manifested at the edges of buildings. A city that allows greater expression of its non-institutions will appear more connected.
