The aim of the essay is to investigate the notion of truth in general terms between ontology, epistemology and ethics and sub specie architecturæ through the example of Mies van der Rohe’s research. Assuming the classification of works made by Peter Carter in low-rise buildings, high-rise buildings and clear-span buildings, the indissoluble link between technical and architectural forms as the essence of architecture is probed. Definitively, a relationship that claims the reference to reason as the basis of choices on the appropriate architectural forms and responsive to the representation of the theme and meaning.

Abstract
The aim of the essay is to investigate the notion of truth in general terms between ontology, epistemology and ethics and sub specie architecturæ through the example of Mies van der Rohe’s research. Assuming the classification of works made by Peter Carter in low-rise buildings, high-rise buildings and clear-span buildings, the indissoluble link between technical and architectural forms as the essence of architecture is probed. Definitively, a relationship that claims the reference to reason as the basis of choices on the appropriate architectural forms and responsive to the representation of the theme and meaning.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
