This chapter addresses the problem of the definition of form in architecture, also in its relationship with the visual arts. The definition of form given by the philosopher Luigi Pareyson as “both concluded and open at the same time, in its non-finite completeness” and Noam Chomsky's definitions of language, as an unlimited set of sentences constructed from a finite number of phenomena, are examined. The problem of context is also explored not only as a physical and material place in which the form is meant to deal with, but also a cultural, immaterial condition which generates choices and programs. In particular, the landscape could be grasped not only in its aspects related to perception, but as a visible appearance of a material culture, a transforming territorial structure. Some examples of projects based on the study of form as successive stages of transformation of matter are provided.

摘要

This chapter addresses the problem of the definition of form in architecture, also in its relationship with the visual arts. The definition of form given by the philosopher Luigi Pareyson as “both concluded and open at the same time, in its non-finite completeness” and Noam Chomsky's definitions of language, as an unlimited set of sentences constructed from a finite number of phenomena, are examined. The problem of context is also explored not only as a physical and material place in which the form is meant to deal with, but also a cultural, immaterial condition which generates choices and programs. In particular, the landscape could be grasped not only in its aspects related to perception, but as a visible appearance of a material culture, a transforming territorial structure. Some examples of projects based on the study of form as successive stages of transformation of matter are provided.
