Aesthetics of Architecture
and Design
“it is only as an aesthetic phenomenon that existence and the world are eternally justified”
Frederico Nietzsche, The Birth of Tragedy
This is the moment in which the weight of a past overly compromised in its contradictions - in which the pressure of a problematic present, the irresolution of its challenges, and the anxious expectations of a more than doubtful future, compel us to look around us in search of the mechanisms and actions through which we have conformed the world to an image (which, by their causes and effects, seems to aggravate our detachment from reality as it is). To a significant extent, perhaps this is due to the fact that the behavior of societies has caused a dissociation between what we call "Art" and Life itself. All human activities suffered from this. Are not Architecture, Urbanism and Design in the forefront of victimization?
For the (current or future) professional, the detachment of this paradox gains today an indisputable relevance. Is it not true that true responsibility always arises from a critical awareness of things?
