Aesthetics

Aesthetics, structure and perception of the living form.

Ornamento e Architettura. L'estetica funzionalistica di Louis H. Sullivan
2010
The present volume offers an introduction to and advances a new interpretation of the aesthetic of Louis Henry Sullivan(1856-1924). Sullivan is universally known as one of the most important American architects, possibly even the greatest one of the 19th century. Scholars of the Modern Movement have misinterpreted his motto “form follows function” and have hailed him as the “father of functionalism”. Sullivan, however, attributed to the concepts of “form”, “function” and “suitability” a higher and more poetic meaning than the other architects of the Chicago School, among whom the debate on such issues, as related to Gottfried Semper’s theories and evolutionist doctrines, was quite heated.

L’annuncio di sé fra vertigine dello sguardo e spazio dell’immagine
2015
This contribution treats the theme of announcement as “announcement of the Self,” vertigo of subjectivity which, manifesting itself in reality, leads into its own abysmal freedom and responsibility. The Self puts itself in image, on the one hand; and the Self takes upon itself the reality of the image of the world, on the other hand. In this way, the Self lets itself be traversed by the world.
Il progetto di una morfologia plastica
2019
The present contribution aims to examine the perspectives of a “plastic” morphology, that is, attentive to the theorization of a metamorphosis understood as a radical questioning of the substance and the individuality of the form; starting from Goethe, through the Warburg school and up to Malabou’s research, we intend to illustrate and briefly verify the possibility of such a line of research.
Emergence

The concept of EMERGENCE today knows a fortune that goes beyond the scope of epistemology and the philosophy of science making it one of the leading concepts in the field of theories of COMPLEXITY and innovation and thus risking, at the same time, to disperse its undoubted conceptual power in some descriptive indeterminacy.

Formation
2020
Since the first programmatic drafts devoted to MORPHOLOGY, Goethe establishes a very strong connection between the birth of the new science, a dynamic consideration of FORM, and the intent to reach the description of the procedures through which the FORM itself is produced, transformed, and perceived. In fact, the first private entry dedicated to MORPHOLOGY defines it as “Lehre von der Gestalt, der Bildung und Umbildung der organischen Körper”
