Subject Overview: |
Throughout its history, philosophy has described itself as a form of architectural edifice, systematically relying on the metaphors of foundations, construction and deconstruction, while architecture would seem (until recently at least) quasi-inconceivable without recourse to the metaphysical oppositions of inside/outside, ground/surface, substance/quality, and essence/accident. Yet, though this “inter-referential” relationship between philosophy and architecture plays a defining role for both disciplines, the basis of their connection remains an open question. |
