Özet:

 

Architecture, as one of the most powerful and familiar forms of visual  communication, occupies a major place in visual culture. American architect  Daniel Libeskind, who is the winner of the master plan for rebuilding Ground  Zero, clarifies the point when he says: “I believe that design and architecture are  the foremost communicators of all—they tell a story. Without them, there would  be no history, no reference about where we are, where we have been and where  we are going; not only as individuals but as a society”  Libeskind, “News” .  Furthermore, Walter Benjamin in “The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical  Reproduction” holds architecture above any other art form arguing that many  other art forms have developed and perished in time, but not architecture  239 .  Benjamin underlines that the human need for shelter is lasting; therefore, the  art of creating spaces, architecture has never been idle  240 . He writes that  “[architecture’s] claim to being a living force has significance in every attempt to  comprehend the relationship of the masses to art”  240 .
