Product Description
Vitruvius's pioneering theoretical architectural writings evolved into the autonomous discipline of architectural aesthetics in the 17th century. Renowned architectural historian Masiero examines the act of building and construction, inseparable from humanity's civilizational history, within this framework. He meticulously analyzes the concept of architecture, which he defines as the command aesthetic of technical reason, spanning from a fundamental functional necessity to an "architectonic" object of utility and beauty. This is a history of aesthetics that connects the canonical architectural understandings of the West to the pioneering and bold character of contemporary structures, through a reading practice that transforms the fundamental elements of buildings into a universe of symbolic references.
