| Descripción: |
The thesis examines a select amount of poesie by the artist Jean Cocteau, and through interpretation, explores the architecture of his work. This process of interpretation poses two questions: What is the role of the architect today, compared with his role as understood throughout history? How does the production of architecture today reflect the mechanisms of capitalism with its division of knowledge and labour, compared with an architecture which is inclusive and reconciliatory? A clear message emerges from Cocteau's Poesie as a response to the two aspects of Orpheus: the first is represented by the processes of individual creativity, and the second by the collective realization of a project, whether it be a work of theatre, the production of a film, or the design and realization of a building. A work does not end in handing it over for someone else to finish. |
