Description
Philosophical investigation of the principles of creation of human environment, from ancient Greece to the present. The architectural and artistic creation is examined in relation to the natural environment, on the basis of philosophical principles. The shift in the way of interpretation of nature in modernity, was the cause of fundamental changes in the ontology of the work. Main focus is given to the Modern and Postmodern consideration of art and architecture, in relation to schools of thought as the Frankfurt School, Phenomenology, Poststructuralism. The relation between aesthetics and the political/social dimension of the work of art and architecture engages us here in this respect.
