Ruskin’s astonishing modernity lies in his timeless and universal interest in the “feelings of the human soul”, that is why architecture is evidently seen as the mirror of society. The XIX century’s industrial city, described by Ruskin in many essays, seems to share with the contemporary city an unlucky destiny: both of them are afflicted by crucial and unsolved social problems. In a city where venality and uncritical resignation deeply prevail, Ruskin warns his contemporaries – and with them all of us today –, no architecture is possible.

Abstract
Ruskin’s astonishing modernity lies in his timeless and universal interest in the “feelings of the human soul”, that is why architecture is evidently seen as the mirror of society. The XIX century’s industrial city, described by Ruskin in many essays, seems to share with the contemporary city an unlucky destiny: both of them are afflicted by crucial and unsolved social problems. In a city where venality and uncritical resignation deeply prevail, Ruskin warns his contemporaries – and with them all of us today –, no architecture is possible.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
