Description

The author is a renowned Professor of Aesthetics at the Faculty of Architecture, Design and Urbanism of the University of Buenos Aires.
In this book she summarizes the experiences, sensations, thoughts and encounters of her years as a tireless traveler, inquisitor, and exquisite interpreter of modern thought.

With this feeling, he embarks on an almost endless journey through the confines of the world of art, architecture, cities, and towns.

From Crete, which he calls, like Homer, "the land that is like wine, beautiful and fertile," he passes through the refinement of Andrea Palladio, the magic of Cappadocia, the finesse of Tadao Ando, ​​the Tokyo Forum, Santa Maria del Naranco, the architecture of Buenos Aires from Prourban, the creativity of Borromini, the Latinity of Álvaro Siza and Barragán, the lesson of our Bank of London, the majesty of Buddha and the legacy of the Vienna Secession, the magic of Machu Picchu, the Renaissance lesson of Michelangelo and dozens of examples, where art and architecture coexist in a wonderful symphony.

For Marta Zátonyi, "Aesthetics has its roots in the remote pre-Socratic times and with its questions it forges paths forward... it delves into the past, offers its richness in the present... it looks towards Philosophy and it looks towards Art... it investigates the beautiful and the ugly... Aesthetics knows that if it does not constantly renew and revise the concept of Art and Architecture... it becomes empty, it fades away..."
