The question of Architectural Form
in the Consciousness Soul Age
The Human Being as Measure of all Things
“An outward projection of the lawfulness of the human body
outside of us into space, this is the art of building,
this is architecture.” (Rudolf Steiner)
To be able to objectively evaluate architectural form we must base our judgements on an objective set of criteria. From a spiritual perspective, the only truly objective criteria we have are those connected with the spiritual and physical nature of the human being.
The human being represents the 4th kingdom of nature, which stands in a close relationship to the three lower, animal, plant and mineral kingdoms . In this module we explore this very relationship between the four nature kingdoms. The progression of consciousness from the mineral – plant – and animal – to the human kingdom provides us with valuable insights as to the hierarchy of form as well as the link between form and consciousness. We conclude with a specific set of evaluation criteria.
Over the three weekends participants will gain practical and theoretic insights into the following questions:
- Why and how is the human being a universal point of reference for Architectural Form?
- How is the development of consciousness mirrored both in the historic forms of art & architecture and in the forms of the 4 kingdoms of nature?
- What relevance does the ascending hierarchy of form have with respect to our modern forms of art & architecture?
- What is the Threefoldness of the Human Being and how is this mirrored in Architectural Form?
- What is the relationship between the 3 dimensions of space and our faculties of thinking, feeling and willing?
- What is the architectural equivalent of the “body” “soul” and “spirit”, of a building?
- What objective criteria do we have by which architectural form is elevated to a higher level of consciousness?
