Heresy of the rite

Abstract

The ritual as a deep contemplation of the binomial that makes up the word Architecture: τέχνη (Téchne) and ἀρχή (Archè) Architecture, in this sense, is understood as an art where all material and immaterial things converge, in a continuous comparison/clash between eternal and present. Our time, however, is dominated by technique alone, which distances us from the profound reason for things. The Project of architecture (with a capital 'P' when it belongs to distant times and therefore to the Archè) therefore describes the rational structure dictated by the architectural paradigms - linked to the origin - with the aim of rediscovering that shared meaning which is proper to the discipline of architecture and which aspires to the search for truth.
