ABSTRACT

Architecture is here conjugated from primitive pillar forms through a whole series of an emerging order a kind of natural architecture that parallels nature itself. But there is no attempt whatsoever to look for the literal appearance of nature in architecture. Instead, what is sought is a kind of parallel logic to the way nature structures itself. What the author present in the pages that follow operates quite differently from K. Michael Hays's following analysis of Mies van der Rohe and the sublime, although he think that what he has to say intersect and provide one with many more concrete examples to test his hypothesis. One of the reasons that the author has been invited to be part of the discussion in the chapter, he suspect, is that he is the person in our generation to have attempted to put nature back into Mies but not in order to create a biomimetic or picturesque Mies at all.
