Synopsis
In a contemplative essay that develops a parallel between void, space, time, and the science of vision in Laotzu's philosophy and in modern architecture, Amos Ih Tiao Chang reveals the vitality of intangible, or negative, elements. He writes that these qualities make architectonic forms "come alive, become human, naturally harmonize with one another, and enable us to experience them with human sensibility." The author expands Frank Lloyd Wright's thoughts on the affinity between Laotzu's philosophy and modern Western architecture by discussing "Natural Life-Movement in Architectonic Vision," "Variability and Complement," "Balance and Equilibrium," and "Individuality and Unity." He accompanies his text with architectural drawings and four Chinese paintings.

Condition: Muy bueno. : En este ensayo contemplativo, Amos Ih Tiao Chang desarrolla un paralelismo entre el vacío, el espacio, el tiempo y la ciencia de la visión en la filosofía de Laotzu y en la arquitectura moderna. Chang revela la vitalidad de los elementos intangibles o negativos, argumentando que estas cualidades hacen que las formas arquitectónicas cobren vida, se vuelvan humanas, armonicen naturalmente entre sí y nos permitan experimentarlas con sensibilidad humana. El autor amplía las ideas de Frank Lloyd Wright sobre la afinidad entre la filosofía de Laotzu y la arquitectura occidental moderna, discutiendo temas como el movimiento de la vida natural en la visión arquitectónica, la variabilidad y el complemento, el equilibrio y la unidad. Acompaña su texto con dibujos arquitectónicos y cuatro pinturas chinas.
