ABSTRACT
For Schopenhauer architecture is a feeling and it can be experienced only by means of the interaction of impression and sense to bring about an awareness of a specific natural force, namely gravity. Lola Kantor-Kazovsky, Piranesi as Interpreter of Roman Architecture and the Origins of his Intellectual World, Leo S. Olschki Editore. In order to move from the axiomatic forms of Air Grid architecture to the formulation of a theory it is necessary to do as Rossi says and to identify a theme. Since Schopenhauer wrote about architecture in The World as Will and Representation his thinking has exerted considerable influence amongst architectural historians and designers. Leaving to one side the reasons for this lack of attention, what is remarkable about Schopenhauer's colour theory is that it proposes a structure for thinking about colour that is in line with contemporary colour theory.
