Phenomenology In The Works Of Peter Zumthor

The literal meaning of Psychology from its Greek Etymology is “study of the soul”. A more

Philosophia comes from the Greek to mean “the love or pursuit of wisdom”. Philosophy to Catalin Avramescu is “a little bit like what Augustine famously said about the concept of time. When nobody asks me about it, I know.

This essay will focus on how those works are informed by both regional and international course. In this context, Sydney Ancher and his strong Miesian simplicity as well as Peter Muller’s affinity with Frank Lloyd Wright’s organic architecture principle.

1.   The word "philosophy" comes from the Greek philein (to love) and sophia (knowledge or wisdom).

In this essay, he linked the concept of thingness with nearness and describing that how a thing is related to its already existing conditions of fourfold. This essay is somehow different for people who got modern western education because the writer has used a strange technique that anyone who reads the text feels as if that the writer is his philosophical guide.

Architecture should be nurturing, responsive and alive, dynamically shifting spatial balances, organically expressive forms, subtly luminous colors and biologically healthy. To achieve such life-enhancing architecture, it has to address all the body senses simultaneously and fuse our image of self with experience of the world. By strengthening our sense of self and reality, architecture serves its all-important function of accommodation and

In the World Like Colossus, the author mentions various types of architect’s version of the truth or the gaze. Each architect, while not directly saying, implies that their truth is absolute. This brings to question is there is such a thing as one universal truth to the way we see and experience architecture; whether it’s through Le Corbusier’s sketching or Mendelsohn’s photography, immersing yourself in the experience or taking a quick view of it. I think the diversity of each architect’s viewpoint negates the idea that one should be a “universal truth”-- instead we should embrace the different opinions of each traveler to form a more holistic approach to whatever truth we may

People, every day, are surrounded by architecture. Architecture is the careful planning, designing, and construction of buildings (REF). Usually the architecture of a building accurately displays the culture in which the building is located in. Although they are cultural symbols, they can also be perceived as works of art. This perceived notion of art attracted artists of all different fields. Since the start of photography, architectural photography was always a very common practice(REF). Three photographers participated in architectural photography. These were Walker Evans, Albert Sands Southworth, and Josiah Johnson Hawes. Although there were many differences in the formal elements used between these photographers, a common theme can be

The word “philosophy” is derived from two ancient Greek words, “philos” meaning ‘love of’ and “sophia” meaning ‘wisdom’. Philosophers are lovers of wisdom. They have had the time and resources to sit back and wonder about what things really are like when all the pieces are fitted into one final accounting.

In Wright and An alto's houses, a powerful sense of insides is generate by opacity. Which, in Falling water is express in roughly dressed stone masonry walls and, in Villa Mairea. By white-painted, solid walls. The transparency of glass windows in both houses thereby connect the two. In both houses, the architects created a strong sense of insideness yet, at the same time, devised ways to connect inside and outside and thereby create a robust continuity between the two. This inside-outside relationship can be translate into environmental and architectural experience in four different ways: (1) in-betweeness; (2) interpenetration generated by inside; (3) interpenetration generated by outside; and (4)

According to the text “Philosophy the power of ideas,” the word metaphysics derives from a set of Aristotle’s writings known as ‘Physics”, stated in the text from the Greek word “physika, which means “the things of nature.”

Aristotle defined the meaning of psyche as the essence of life. Translated to mean “life” from the ancient Greek, but also almost shares the same meaning as “breath.” The word logo means “the study of.” The famous Greek Philosopher believed that the word psyche escaped from the last dying breath. Today, modern psychologists believe the same thoughts that Aristotle believed long ago, and still study the same thoughts, feelings and actions.

Different architects have different styles because they are trying to get at different things. Architecture is not just about making something beautiful anymore, it is about trying to get across a set of ideas about how we inhabit space. Two of the most famous architects of the twentieth century, one from each side, the early part and the later part up until today each designed a museum with money donated by the Guggenheim foundation. One of these is in New York City, it was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The other is in bilbao, Spain, and it was designed by Frank Geary. My purpose of this paper is to interrogate each of these buildings, glorious for different reasons, to show how each architect was expressing their own style.

The entryways of the building come from four different sides and meet in the middle. The overall shape of the building creates different views and facades. The building was not created just on the looks of it; it is made up of a three dimensional, stimulating, tactile human thing.

Architecture can be viewed with two different types of properties. Properties that can be seen like shapes, their composition, the spaces they create and, the colours and textures that make up their appearance. These properties are considered to be visual while other properties are considered to be abstract. These properties can only be described using words; the meanings behind the architecture and the stories that can be told about it. The context, its cultural background and its function also affects how we view architecture. The question is, what
