Abstract:
Looking at Martin Heidegger's influential argument that connected
techne
with
aletheia
, it is possible to trace the history of a certain idea in
the field of architecture. Using Heidegger as their authority, a branch of
modernists insisted that their occupation was essentially connected with
the truth. This text is looking in detail at the construction of the
techne
-
argument in architectural theory. We see, that the very selective reading it
required in order to make Heidegger's thoughts subject to architecture, the
proponents contributed to a larger phenomenon known in our field. Hei-
degger's reluctance of the public now was the foundation of a design
theory.
Techne
became a gift of the few, and architects used it to raise
themselves above a public they felt alienated from.
