Abstract:
With the present text, we intend to investigate Nietzsche’s understanding about architecture, from an analysis of the formulation: “architecture is a kind of eloquence of power in forms”, from Twilight of the idols, aphorism 11, chapter IX. Given the relationship contained therein, between that art and the doctrine of the will to power, we seek to understand its terms - thus, those who distance it from schopenhauerian aesthetics - and to what extent they would reverberate, in addition to the various stylistic manifestations relevant to it, in a possible theory of architecture as an occupying power.
Keywords:
