Critical Meanings In Architecture. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, July 2009, Pages: 336
Through the search for critical meanings in
architecture, this work enchains architecture with
philosophy for the purpose of discovering the essence
of architecture. The contents excavated in the search
for critical meanings are equally applicable for
other creative arts. It is a useful reference for
creators who are concerned about the underlying
reasons for their work and to find a bedrock for
creativity beyond mere appearances. The work
transgresses the boundaries between imagination,
perception and rational thought: The ordinary mental
tools that designers use to arrive at creative work.
It also interrogates the dichotomy between intuition
and reason to seek a holistic viewpoint that
synthesizes the otherwise disparate philosophical
worlds. Mainly, it is a mental journey to overcome
the often meaningless aspects of design that depend
on visual acceptance alone, which should also be the
concern of all conscientious designers and thinkers.
