Heidegger's Thinking on Architecture



This article is telling about heidegers thinking and his philosophy.i strongly agree this ways of thinking because in this assay he tried to show it through an Greek temple how the temple makes all the things of earth visible
Talking about man made and nature, that is kind of enlightening when reading through the Heidegger's thinking about the bridge gathers the earth as landscape around the stream. It's true. Nature is something very elegance and infinite. There are some limits of to enhance manmade structures.the bridge does not connects the two banks only but yet it makes a place comes to presence. At the same time the element emerges as what they are.

heideger mentioned ''Language keeps the world'' in my way of undustanding I think what he is saying is by language u can say anything u wnt, u can describe anything u wnt.also can give life to anything.the next one is "Poetry speaks in images''.Contrast,which let the invisible be seen.ya,even though a building also need a hierarchy too.The author oso mension about a painter here.named Van Gogh and his drawing ''representational image''.From Architecture view,a building is mute if it just a building there, but if the building is verymuch realted to the environment and if it has a meaning.it can be more intresting in that way u can give life to a building.but without it it can be very boring jus like the auther mentioned ''non-representational images''.

auther also describe about the building location , room as the space and is provided for the locations. Boundary as threshold, it separate the building to have indoor and outdoor, these space brings life to a building, a function to a building

''Inhabited landscape'',the gap between earth and sky is a place,a place that fullfilled the nature elements.The word ''inhabited landscape''I think he is saying it is the space were god haven’t touched he left the place for us.to design.thats the space that we have to built our space by nature elements as mentioned.

For my conclusion,everything can be an art.even the language as well.Just depend on how we using it.The essay also describe very well in how to used and taking benefits from the nature/enviroment.Hows the building show its important between man and landscape and makes a good connections within the structure and nature

Heidegger thinks that art is not used to represent something but it presents itself to the public and that language is not use to communicate but rather it speaks for itself. In my conclusion art can be anything. It’s a matter of how you use it.
