Heidegger and architecture

Heidegger thinking is  generally describe the relationship between architecture with temple and his own preferences.He said, the temple manifested the existence of god, however, the god its already exist everywhere. The architecture is the bridge to denote the existence of it. The temple is trying to blend with the environment deliberately. The component for a temple show this existence of god, the lead of destiny of human being, and the temple contrast the natural element of earth to be visible by human being.


Using the Greek temple to describe the world with human being relationship,Heidegger , using four 'standing here' to express the mean of existence of the temple.He mean the temple is standing, and rest on the ground, and tower in the air.However, the architecture made the environment that arouse the god existence. People that present can feel the god though we said god is everywhere. 


In his philosophy,  architecture is a 'bridge' or an 'equipment' which visualize the man environment. Man will not feel the environment without architecture, it's can be shown the in some famous architect works like Villa Savoye ,Le Corbusier. He used a bright light color building finishes to contrast against the green landscape and lushes. Without the existence of the particular building, the landscape can be very typical environment.


Communication need language. He said that without language would be unable to deliver the message from one to another. In architecture , language is a primary tool to expressed the building message. No matter in construction or design, language take place in advance. It is a key of knowledge ,for architecture, for the world. 

Art and architecture is strongly related in this philosophy. Van Gogh,his art drawings that expressed the feeling to architecture and human feeling. Architecture, in my mind, consider a high distinction field. They need an absolute art and visualized to the community.In a simple architecture have to consider different aspect to ensure the structure is practical, aesthetic in art and the functionality. Those paintings are talking ,they speak!


In a nutshell, art and architecture take place for a particular structure. Architecture used to be a tool to visualized the art. Architecture able to communicate with the landscape and deliver message to human.
