The Bed Maker’s Model: A Thematic Study of Louis I. Kahn’s 1961 Article “Form and Design” in Terms of Plato’s Theory of Forms as Treated in The Republic.Fleming, Steven Peter January 2003 (has links)
In 1960 Louis Kahn’s theoretical concerns began to focus on a concept which he called “form”, not meaning a building’s three dimensional shape, but the essence of its underlying type. The current study considers Kahn’s post-1960 concept of “form”, as espoused in his 1961 article, “Form and Design”, in relation to Plato’s theory of Forms, as that theory is presented in The Republic. A deeper appreciation of Kahn’s text is achieved through an examination of the hypothesis that the word “form”, as it is defined in Kahn’s article, is congruous with Plato’s famous concept, whereby Forms are said to be independent of humans and particulars. This leads to a related hypothesis, that Kahn’s shift in emphasis towards transcendent types is reflected in his development of what could be called Platonising architectural strategies, because they reflect parallel aims between Plato and Kahn. While Kahn and Plato are quite different figures, separated by time, profession and intentions, consideration of Plato’s treatment of the Forms in The Republic illuminates a new interpretation of “Form and Design” and the building which is most closely associated with that text, Kahn’s First Unitarian Church and School in Rochester. The thesis identifies ideas within Kahn’s text which resonate with Plato’s philosophy, suggesting that Kahn’s theory can be interpreted through notions stemming from the early moments of the Western philosophical tradition. It also identifies inconsistencies between Kahn’s text and Plato’s and between various statements made by Kahn, highlighting the fact that Kahn’s philosophical musings are not those of a trained philosopher. / PhD Doctorate

Läkande rum : - ett examensarbete om arkitektur, psykiatri och läkande miljöer / Curative Spaces : - a Book about Architecture, Psychiatry and healthy Environments and a Vision for Psychiatric Healthcare in the FutureKallstenius, Marie-Louise January 2011 (has links)
Projektets syfte är att försöka utröna hur en visionär psykiatri skulle kunna se ut i framtiden. Jag frågade mig om man som arkitekt kan komma med en vision som är en lösning på psykiatrins problem. Hur gör man för att maximera de läkande faktorerna så att patienter återhämtar sig så fort och fullständigt som möjligt? Projektet är också ett försök att förmänskliga en av de stora insitutioner vi är beroende av i samhället och har resulterat i en bok i ämnet och ett designprojekt.
