Читать книгу Architecture. Dialectic. Synthesis - - Страница 5

This work is devoted to understanding architecture, comprehending its philosophical and dialectical meaning.

The author has set himself two tasks: to formulate the essence of architecture and outline the foundations of its dialectical theory, as well as to consider architecture as a "philosophy in stone." These seemingly different tasks are combined in the idea that considers a person in the unity of spirit and body. Getting ahead of ourselves, let's notice that architecture from these positions is understood as an integral spiritual and material being unfolding in human nature, suggesting two points: 1. the continuation and development of the body in nature. From this point of view, architecture is understood as the second human body or the material side of his being presented in nature, and 2. the materialization of the worldview (theology, philosophy, creed, ideology, mythology). From this point of view, architecture is the embodiment of the ideal side of man in nature, ensuring the fullness of human existence in the world.
