Cities, squares, intersections and houses are subjects of social and existential communication. Today, news, events and trade go into the virtual space of planetary or regional life, so cities with their squares, intersections and houses are becoming knots and seams of this fabric. But architecture as a “thing made of stone” has not lost its significance in the formation of cultural meanings and human destinies. References Bagina, E. (2022).
