The Return of the Body
Phenomenology in Architecture
In Chapters 1 and 2 the problematic status
of architecture as a discipline was presented as an argument between what the
writer C. P. Snow referred to as the “two cultures”, of science and the arts.1
Snow, in his Rede Lecture of 1959, was describing what he saw as a deep
division in modern society, between those involved in quantitative work – such as
scientific research and engineering – and those engaged in more qualitative
fields, such as literature, music and fine art. The problem for Snow was the
lack of communication between these two groups who seemed suspicious of each
other’s objectives, and in architecture, this situation has developed into an
argument over the relevance of meaning. The two cultures within architecture
embody a similar disagreement over the qualitative versus the quantitative
approach to design. The historical material set out in the first two chapters
of this book described the background to these two ways of thinking.
In
reality, of course, architecture is inevitably caught in the middle between the
“autonomous” realm of free artistic expression and the “deterministic” activity
of applied engineering. As the German philosopher Theodor Adorno made clear, in
an essay entitled “Functionalism
