Architecture as reality. Theory, history and criticism of architecture via the work of Geert Bekaert

Since the fifties, Geert Bekaert has written consistently and continuously on architecture and the arts. With this research, I want to enlighten the (architectural) theory of Geert Bekaert, by reconstructing it within the international landscape of architecture theory and history. In BekaertU+2019s thinking, architecture is the first and most comprehensive human activity it precedes ideology, politics, aesthetics, economy and philosophy. Architecture constructs the reality in which human life and the history of humankind can be developed. In my thesis, I will expand and clarify this U+2018basicU+2019 aspect of architecture U+2013 and this fundamental critical theory.
