Metaphysics Of Architecture

Abstract
In this work I investigate analogies between natural and architectural form and their poetic potentials, to gain a deeper understanding of our physiological and psychological relationship to our (built) environment. It is not enough to explain architecture in a purely rational way and thereby to exclude the human as an emotional and spiritual subject from the considerations about form.
