Beauty
The first sense
Art
the first word
then Wonder
Then the inner realization of ‘Form’
The sense of the wholeness of inseparable elements.
Design consults Nature
to give presence to the elements
A work of art makes manifest the wholeness of the ‘Form’
a symphony of the selected shapes of the elements.
In the elements
the joint inspires ornament, its celebration.
The detail is the adoration of Nature.
POEM by
Carlo Scarpa by Louis Kahn
