Emotion: space and form inthe work of Mathias Goeritz

Abstract

This manuscript describes and explores the connections between the work of artistic figures such as Mathias Goeritz and the approaches to emotional architecture. His career highlights his connections with the Bauhaus, sculpture, and painting, through which he connects the study of pure forms, perception, certain expressionist principles in the abstraction and geometrization of forms within modern art, and visual-spatialism and use of color. This, as a field of study, explores the potential to generate emotions in art and architecture. This is reflected in a series of principles and works by this important figure in contemporary architecture, which we review.
