A SELF-MADE SCALE OF VALUES FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL CULTURE

Abstract

An art philosophy approach to categories of architecture and of design is outlined, starting from the theorem "art is of all of us" by William Morris, referred to the environment culture. Culture of architecture may be considered as the scale of progress in this direction. Renewal of the environment has to rely on labour division forms arisen in the scientific-technical revolution, on integration of the profession of architect, on a new, comprehensive approach to, and methods of design - from structure through architecture to urbanology - on a mentality uniting artistic-technical abilities and social sensitivity. An answer is sought to the question, whether this extended set of requirements can be accommodated in the category of arts or not.
