This work explores the link between philosophy, aesthetics and architecture through a set of essays that address the great conceptual challenges that these disciplines face in modernity. With a plural and transdisciplinary approach, the book brings together contributions by authors such as Luis Arenas, Carla Carmona, Joan Llinares and Alba Martínez Amorós, among others.
The work stands out for rescuing classical and contemporary debates on topics such as the relationship between urbanism and political economy, the aesthetic relevance of thinkers like Walter Benjamin, Wittgenstein or Nietzsche, and phenomenological approaches to architectural space. The text also explores the criticism of visual dominance in architecture, defending a multisensory perception, as proposed by Juhani Pallasmaa, and reflects on the interaction between ethics and technique, inspired by Ortega y Gasset.
Each essay offers unique perspectives that enrich the understanding of architecture not only as a technical discipline, but as a deeply philosophical and cultural act. It is essential reading for architects, philosophers, and scholars interested in the theoretical and aesthetic underpinnings that shape the way we inhabit the world.
