Through cross-disciplinary explorations of and engagements with
nature as a forming part of architecture, this volume sheds light
on the concepts of both nature and architecture. Nature is examined
in a raw intermediary state, where it is noticeable as nature,
despite, but at the same time through, man's effort at creating
form. This is done by approaching nature from the perspective of
architecture, understood, not only as concrete buildings, but as a
fundamental human way both of being in, and relating to, the world.
Man finds and forms places where life may take place. Consequently,
architecture may be understood as ranging from the simple mark on
the ground and primitive enclosure, to the contemporary
megalopolis. Nature inheres in many aesthetic forms of expression.
In architecture, however, nature emerges with a particular power
and clarity, which makes architecture a raw kind of art. Even
though other forms of art, as well as aesthetic phenomena outside
the arts, are addressed, the analogy to architecture will be
evident and important. Thus, by using the concept of 'raw' as a
focal point, this book provides new approaches to architecture in a
broad sense, as well as other aesthetic and artistic practices, and
will be of interest to readers from different fields of the arts
and humanities, spanning from philosophy and theology to history of
art, architecture and music.
