Formalism. But in science, this word has
almost the opposite meaning. As I see it, bad architecture emerges precisely
where a deeper and stricter understanding of architectural form has become
dimmed, or undisciplined, or has completely disappeared.
It
is said that mathematics is at its most practical when it is at its most
abstract. It is precisely this abstraction that makes architectural form such a
sharp instrument.
It
would be fair to say that if you compare people who have never had any
long-term design education, very few of them would be able to resolve even the
most modest tasks of building composition in a satisfactory manner. They do not
have viable experience of pure architectural form – mainly the problems of
space per se, not to mention any familiarity with ways of controlling it.
The
concept of architectural form varies in different cultures and at different
cultural levels. At the same time, it is subject to shared development – as is
everything else that comes within the sphere of culture. Thus the architectural
form of the house design I have shown you seems to have some connection with
the contemporary astronomical worldview. Its spatial composition is reminiscent
of ta planetary system with an invisible centre of gravity that is in fact the
architectural form that controls the whole.
Nelson’s
house has not been built at full size and probably never will be, but since its
score has been in existence, it has already managed to bring about a kind of
Copernican revolution in architecture.
That
being the case, it is not appropriate to be surprised by what Wassily
Kandinsky, one of the greatest pioneers of our time when it comes to artistic
concepts, has said about the Nelson house: “His work is a synthesis of
everything we attempted to do.”
Of
course, the development of architectural form does not stop here. We can
already see signs of more than three-dimensional design, for example in that we
try to think of the milieu that has to be designed as a field in which changes
of form also take place in the dimension of time. As always happens in reality.
But closer examination of this development does not lie within the scope of
this lecture.
