As the term post-modern emphasizes the symbolic content of form, it relegates material to having only secondary importance. Because of the integral role of material in the art of building, this approach has been proven to lead to a dead end in architecture. In the memory of Alvar Aalto, this book proposes that if architects consistently combine both matter and mind, material and meaning into a better equilibrium in their work, they will simultaneously participate in resolving the great problems facing the world. Here, an eclectic mix of accomplished writers from the fields of philosophy, music, literature and architecture come together to discuss the developments in this crucial debate, with crisp architectural photographs and models serving as concrete examples. , English, Year2000, Illust.
