Skrócony opis:

Understanding architecture is essential for our self-understanding and architecture itself. We can, therefore, consider architectural discourse as hermeneutics.

Pełny opis:

Being in the world with Others discloses the centrality of understanding in our life. Understanding our situatedness in the world brings together thinking, dwelling, and building.

A critical review of the history of architecture confronts us with the way human beings related to their environments. The coexistence of historical horizons and of our belonging to this multifaceted heritage allows us to experience the horizon of history. This horizon is not added to our experience but grows out of it and co-creates it.

One of the essential aspects of architecture is to respond to human desires and the need for a home. Homelessness and homecoming (Heimkunft) are widespread phenomena we experience in our contemporary culture that provoke our preoccupations with nihilism and modern technology. Following Heidegger’s engagement with technology, we can move beyond his notion of homecoming as related to the reawakening of the German spirit and see the potential of the homecoming of humanity at large. Finding a home describes a dynamic of human life built upon love. As Alberto Perez-Gomez postulates, architecture must continue to be built upon love by responding “to a desire for an eloquent place to dwell, one that lovingly provides a sense of order resonant with our dreams, a gift contributing to our self-understanding as humans inhabiting a mortal world.”

Architecture situated between poetics and ethics is a hermeneutic enterprise. Every human activity is an ethical endeavor. Any architectural work is an ethical work: Ethical consideration is not added to an architectural discourse, but rather, instead of being a goal-oriented is a good-oriented human undertaking. There is a powerful connection between being an architect and being a human being in the world with Others. The architects, builders, and the beneficiaries of their work, we all are actual participants in critical care for our broken planet (Angelika Fitz and Elke Krasny). Love and care are at the very core of architecture itself. They also inform and transform our way of being in the world as the creators and custodians of Being (Heidegger’s Wächter des Seins).
