It is impossible to trace a story of this art, just as it’s impossible to make a history of metaphysics, as their content is eternal. Coomaraswamy calls this philosophy “sophia perennis”. “If modern art cannot be described in terms of the same philosophy, it may be because it has no end beyond itself because it’s too “fine” to be applied and too “meaningful” to mean anything…so far from this, the Middle Ages and the East held that “beauty has to do with cognition”, that the “operative habit is an intellectual virtue” and that whatever is indefinite in a work of art, it is so much the less in being a work of art”. About the Author Ananda Kentish Coomaraswamy (22 August 1877 − 9 September 1947) was a Sri Lankan Tamil philosopher and metaphysician, as well as a pioneering historian and philosopher of Indian art, particularly art history and symbolism, and an early interpreter of Indian culture to the West. He served as curator of Indian art at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Along with René Guénon and Frithjof Schuon, Coomaraswamy is regarded as one of the three founders of Perennialism, also called the Traditionalist School, referring to the concept of perennial philosophy.

He thus established a bond between man, nature, and the universe that was legitimized by the authority of Vitruvius He attempted to reduce complex projects to a system of mathematical equations, identifying in each building a repetitive but renewable compositional formula.

He is considered a leading authority on the art and architecture of the Renaissance and Baroque periods. TEXT B Text Synopsis The dissertation of Christopher Powell explores the fundamental characteristics of a system of geometry and proportion currently used by Maya house builders and shamans to design vernacular architecture in indigenous Maya communities. It demonstrates how this system of geometry and proportion was also used by the Maya of the Classic and Post-Classic periods. TEXT B About the Author Christopher Powell is an Archaeologist.

The ambition for a new scale of collective intelligence overtakes the national dimension and formulates a new “global“ agenda. Here, technology is described as a human product, perfectly integrated with humanistic values. The accumulation of images expresses in written form the very mechanical aesthetic typical of the avant-garde of the 19th century. Indeed, the “ruthless denial of the past” uses very classical categories and proclaims some of the deepest dreams of the modern.

It refers to an undifferentiated common quality that appears prior to that of the individual. Generic is thus both what is common and what is coming into being”. The idea of reiteration embedded in the concept of “generic” precisely addresses the topic of permanence. The project of Hilberseimer introjected the values of its epoch and led to envision of a new kind of man. Once again, we find an old cultural tradition unfolding into something unprecedented. TEXT B&nbsp;Text Synopsis In The Possibility of an Absolute Architecture, Pier Vittorio Aureli proposes that a sharpened formal consciousness in architecture is a precondition for political, cultural, and social engagement with the city. Aureli uses the term “absolute” not in the conventional sense of “pure”, but to denote something that is resolutely itself after being separated from its other. In the pursuit of the possibility of an absolute architecture, the other is the space of the city, its extensive organization, and its government. Politics is agonism through separation and confrontation; the very condition of architectural form is to separate and be separated. Through its act of separation and being separated, architecture reveals at once the essence of the city and the essence of itself as political form: the city as the composition of (separate) parts. About the AuthorPier Vittorio Aureli is an architect and educator. Aureli teaches at the Architectural Association where he is Director of studies in the Ph.D. program, lecturer in the History and Theory program and Unit Master in the diploma school. He is the author of several books, including The Project of Autonomy: Politics and Architecture Within and Against Capitalism (2008), The Possibility of an Absolute Architecture (2011), and Ritual and Walls: The Architecture of Sacred Space (2016, with Maria Shéhérazade Giudici), The Room of One’s Own (2017, with Dogma) and Loveless: Minimum Dwelling and its Discontents (2019, with Dogma).Together with Martino Tattara, he is the co-founder of Dogma, an architecture firm based in Brussels.

He raises the question as to whether design will absorb art and architecture at some point in the not-too-distant future. Design, not as in the manufacture of particular products, but as the overall design of our surroundings, even of our very lives, as an unbreakable concatenation of immediate presences, as a constant presence.

He earned his Ph.D. in Art History at Freie Universität Berlin in 1993 after studying in Geneva, Vienna, and Berlin and his Habilitation at ETH Zurich in 1999. He taught at the University of Geneva, the Hochschule der Künste Berlin, the GSAPP of Columbia University New York, the Barcelona Institute of Architecture and the University of Zürich. Philip Ursprung served as an advisor to the Swiss Federal Government as a member of the Eidgenössische Kunstkommission from 1997 to 2004.

In this essay, Tafuri describes the Eclipse of History as the very essence of the “Modern” since the very beginning. He identifies in Leon Battista Alberti and Filippo Brunelleschi two fundamentally different paradigms of this dynamic, encompassing, as such, architectural history until now. On the one hand, we find the philological approach, the precise reconstruction of the grammar of the classic and a negotiation with the past ages of Alberti. On the other, the opportunistic deployment of the classical language aimed to formulate a new architecture, based on a high degree of rational “objectuality”, counteracts the medieval city with a brand new Ethos. In both cases, the figure of revolution appears and reveals its paradoxical meaning. About the Author Manfredo Tafuri (Rome, 4 November 1935 – Venice, 23 February 1994), was an Italian architect, historian, theoretician, critic, and academic. He was described by one commentator as the world's most important architectural historian of the second half of the 20th century. He is noted for his pointed critiques of the partisan "operative criticism" of previous architectural historians and critics like Bruno Zevi and Sigfried Giedion and for challenging the idea that the Renaissance was a "golden age", as it had been characterized in the work of earlier authorities like Heinrich Wölfflin and Rudolf Wittkower.

Keller Easterling offers us an unprecedented point of view on the spatial agents and the key-power of the 21st century. Some of the most radical changes to the globalizing world are being written, not in the language of law and diplomacy, but in these spatial, infrastructural technologies— often because market promotions or prevailing political ideologies lubricate their movement through the world.” The “active form” emerges as a new figure in the realm of spatial agency and establishes a new scale of thinking about the relationship between design and politics. About the Author Keller Easterling is an American architect, urbanist, writer, and professor at Yale University. She is a contemporary writer working on the issues of urbanism, architecture, and organization in relation to the phenomena commonly defined as globalization.
