It’s amazing how Giedion can explain, in only five paragraphs, so much of the true essence of all the great architecture that’s been created over the past 100 years. He describes the molding and shaping and creation of space perhaps more than form. I suspect he would believe form to be too closely associated with style. According to Gideon, style is the enemy. I wholeheartedly agree. Most interesting, (as I’ve said in a previous post he is quite the character) he makes a reference to some architects being creative and others not so much. Although the architectural career should both attract and engender creativity… We know that is not always the case.
