Abstract

Through the juxtaposition of architecture and painting, the paper expounds how architect Luigi Moretti combined the classic with baroque aesthetics, in which he discusses the binary relations from profile to continuity, and from lightness to shadow. The comparison on light, volume, structure and composition is not simply about form but a dialogue between design techniques and cultural orientation. Through the interweaving of history, theory and cultural critique, we can sense the subtlety of cultural and aesthetic interest under a national modern ideal, and set up a research correlations based on design and cultural criticism.
