As a student of Architecture, you have to know about design and technology. However, do you have to know about Aesthetics?
In June 2019, I had the honour of being invited to give a lecture about aspects of esthetic theory at the TU Delft in The Netherlands. In this lecture, I focused on esthetic perception in the 20th and 21st Century.
Estheticism and technical efficiency do not have to be antagonists, I stated. In the opposite, esthetic research can support the sustainability of design concepts.
The lecture touched the following topics:
The aesthetics of minimalism- less is more
The scientific background of colours and wavelengths
Esthetics of Colour in Art and Architecture
The Fibonacci Code in Art, Nature and Architecture
The Mindmap of a cultural period, its time and its esthetic connotations
The speech was received well, and some students and teachers expressed their appreciation for giving more in-depth insight into esthetic theory.
The lecture-discussion included creations of the following artists and architects :
