The Institute’s work has influenced art, philosophy, and cultural studies, promoting interdisciplinary reflection.
Depth architecture—The aesthetic nature of the psyche
Antonino Cardillo
The lecture discusses the realm of James Hillman’s “twilight ambivalence” through an experiential recollection of Antonino Cardillo’s architectural oeuvre. By emphasising the historicity of the soul, the lecture promotes emancipation from reliance on factuality. It presents beauty as a sensual epiphany of the psyche, revealing the fundamental essence of its aesthetic nature: “To perceive, it must imagine”.
