‘Matter and Mind in Architecture’ was the theme of the 7th Alvar Aalto Symposium, thus the title of the book documenting the symposium. It's a theme that might have been construed as somewhat introspective, perhaps out of touch with the present state of commerce, but its purpose was to instigate a discussion of materials and meanings, matter and content, and to encourage architects to participate in the fundamental problems facing the world. Because architects ought no longer be bystanders in a world of intensifying environmental problems, ‘Matter and Mind in Architecture’ encourages self-scrutiny.The contributing writers, all important representatives in their respective fields of philosophy, music, literature and architecture include Kazuyo Sejima, Vittorio Gregotti, Wilfried Wang, Juan Navarro Baldeweg and John Patkau.
As the term post-modern emphasizes the symbolic content of form, it relegates material to having only secondary importance. Because of the integral role of material in the art of building, this approach has been proven to lead to a dead end in architecture. In the memory of Alvar Aalto, this book proposes that if architects consistently combine both matter and mind, material and meaning into a better equilibrium in their work, they will simultaneously participate in resolving the great problems facing the world. Here, an eclectic mix of accomplished writers from the fields of philosophy, music, literature and architecture come together to discuss the developments in this crucial debate, with crisp architectural photographs and models serving as concrete examples.
