Spinoza

an affect that is called passion of the mind is a confused idea, by which the mind affirms of its body, or of some part of it, a greater of lesser force of existing than before...'

-Spinoza

'Promise of function[action]'

The ‘promise of function[action]’ within the works of architecture is what separates it from other art forms. It is not simply a ‘series of retinal images’ that we experience in meaningful architecture.

‘The object which surround my body reflect its possible action upon them’  

-Henri Bergson.

’ In such memory, the past is embodied in action. Rather than being contained separately somewhere in the mind or brain, it is actively an ingredient in the very bodily movement that accomplish a particular action,’

-Edward Caset

The great work of modernity have forever halted the utopian time of the optimism and hope ; even after decades of trying fate they radiate an air of spring and hope. Alvar Aalto’s Paimio Sanatorion is heartbreaking in its radiant belief in the humane future and the success of the societal mission of architecture. Le Corbs’ Villa Savoye makes us believe in the union of reason and beauty, ethics and aesthetics. Through periods of dramatic and tragic social and cultural changes, Konstantin Melnikov’s Melnikov House in Moscow has stood as a silent witness of the will and utopian spirit that once created it.
