Das
Ornamentale und die architektonische Form. [The
Ornamental Art and Architectural Form. |
If, according to Niklas Luhmann, ornamentation is interpreted as a basic artistic principle for generating shapes and bodies, ornamental art in architecture may be seen as the specific artistic-creative quality of the architectural design process. This book decompresses the foundation, formulation, form and function of ornamental art into the following thematic complexes: perception, calculation, geometry and structure. This generates an operational interpretation of ornament, to be used in architectural theory, which asks further questions about cosmos, evolution, virtuality and atmosphere. This makes a fundamental comment on the current discourse regarding the theory of ornamental art in architecture and at the same time acts as a ‘hinge’, which - for the first time - can be used to question the foundations of Niklas Luhmann's systems theory. |
