ERIK FORSSMAN: POST-CLASSICAL ICONOLOGY OF ARCHITECTURE
The analysis of classical architectural and theoretical texts in the person of Eric Forssman clarifies the relationship between the text and the architectural monument: the analytics follow the practice, the practice follows the theory. The system of the order, understood as a means of emotional impact on the user, presupposes characterology as well - a kind of habit of architectonic activity: in the aspect of design, construction, and subsequent use (including the interpretation). Each of the orders designates its relation to the meaning. It is probably an allegorical attitude (iconography), or it reflected the expression of vital circumstances, - of the architect, the patron, and the interpreter (iconology). One means a document, the other is a monument. The contamination of the order's thinking in the 18th century already gives examples of artificial resuscitation of the monumentality in the 20th century, understood as suggestive-colossal (all totalitarian regimes). The direct assimilation of the order system belongs in the direct sense of responsibility before the reviving and dying history.
