The sublime and the uncanny are terms that refer to situations that remove the subject from a sense of familiarity and cause him awe. Chronologically, the concept of the sublime precedes, for which many philosophers speak, including Edmund Burke and Immanuel Kant, while reference will also be made to examples from the romantic era and the work of Barnett Newman in sublime aesthetics as well as the necessity of expressionism at the time of the second world war. The term Sublime today is characterized as something dim, vague and of immense power. For the sublime, many different formulations have been given over the years in the field of philosophy, poetry, as well as art. We will see below that we use this term to indicate our reference to something grand, transcendent, formless, supernatural. Some perceive the sublime as something mighty and majestic while some others speak of the sublime as something intangible and elusive. In all cases we are talking about a state of intense indulgence and pleasure while at the same time we have as a companion the feeling of fear, terror or pain.

Continuing to focus on the Uncanny. In this case we will note the imprint of Sigmund Freud who refers to something previously familiar and known which resurfaces but in a way that is inaccessible. The feeling of unfamiliarity refers to a situation that the subject experiences internally. Freud mentions many categories that create this feeling and we can recognize many artists who have been influenced by his text, while also Anthony Vidler's text is an important reference to the architectural uncanny which will be analyzed, while also noting an example of architecture as an art form and not only as a construction process. An important note in this work is also the reference to Masahiro Mori who spoke about the Uncanny Valley where the sense of emptiness is caused when something inanimate (robot) acquires human characteristics. The research paper encloses with the combination of the concepts, having for example the work of Renne Magritte, while also mentioning a personal experience that refers to the bathtub of my house and how I recognize the sense of the sublime and uncanny.
