O complexo categorial estético arquitetônico: o sistema de mediações categoriais da arte em Lukács no interior da peculiaridade da arquitetura

Abstract

The present work aims to determine the aesthetic dimension of architectural space according to the ideas conceived by György Lukács in his later work. To do so, it was necessary to understand the philosophical categories of art as treated by him in his Aesthetics and present them in connection with our object of study: the categorical complex of architecture. The thesis of this work suggests that Lukács' philosophical categories of art, as understood by him, can assist us in comprehending and determining the aesthetic space within the architectural complex, in contrast to what is contemporarily understood and presented as art in architecture. The expositional form of the research is divided into two parts, with the first one dedicated to understanding and presenting the general elements of the aesthetic on chapter 1. The second part, consisting of chapters 2 to 4, is devoted to the analytical decomposition of the architectural categorical complex and criticism of contemporary productions. In conclusion, the presentation illustrates how historical determinants intimately articulate with the determination of aesthetic space within the complex under analysis, given the peculiar nature of its objective form of manifestation.
