Theory
I am studying Civil Engineering and Architecture and so I wanted to find a theory from a great architect that also appreciated the engineering side of things. I landed on Santiago Calatrava, and found an article talking on his take on the blurred line between the two. The following paragraph formed my theory that I would use for this project.
"We humans live in two worlds. First, there is the outer world of appearances- all of the forms of things that captivate our eye. But hidden from our view is another world- how these things actually function, their anatomy or composition, the parts working together and forming the whole. This second world is not so immediately captivating. It is harder to understand. It is not something visible to the eye, but only to the mind that glimpses the reality. But this “how” of things is just as poetic once we understand it- it contains the secret of life, of how things move and change."
Understanding beauty is a complication.
