Sažetak
The idea of the hovering effect of architectural structures is encountered throughout history; however, designs, interpretations and manner in which this effect is accomplished have changed. Modern technologies and current achievements regarding form have made the hovering effect interesting for both architects and conceptual artists. One of the ways of attaining the hovering effect in architecture worth considering is the use of either natural or man-made mirrors. The production of modern reflective materials has made it possible for architects to shape and create various designs in hovering architecture. The presented research is based on the Classification of the methods of achieving the hovering effect of architectonic structures. This classification is further expanded by the discussion and analysis of horizontal, vertical, oblique and curved mirrors. The novel and inventive way of their use contributes to achieving the effect that has been difficult or even impossible to achieve so far. The classification is expanded so as to represent a logical unity with the existing and improved ways of generating the effect by the use of mirrors. Moreover, it may be further improved by considering the concept known as invisible architecture and by relating it to hovering architecture.
