THE SITUATION AND TWO DESIGNS (Reflections)

Abstract

Human being was not satisfied with the natural world of natural objects, therefore it created more and more artificial objects ordered in for him acceptable system. By and by the objects were connected with semantic contents: they became signs and - with the interpretation - formed complete three-unities. Having exploded the three-unities a confused situation took shape. The professional `object-makers´, so the architects too, have been attempting to find the right solution. They are the ones who intervene in the existing world of objects and ideas. This kind of activity requires humility and sense of responsibility. The architects´ behaviour and influence are of great importance. Designing and building are the last phases of their activity, only. Leaving out the previous phases, false objects are born. Extensive explanatory work and education are badly needed, too. The example of Kodály can or should inspire us. What I mean is shown by two designs.
