THE ARCHITECTURAL IDEAS OF “SARTOR RESARTUS” BY THOMAS CARLYLE
The architectural theory of Arata Endo (1889-1951) is thought to have been deeply influenced by “Sartor Resartus: The Life and Opinions of Herr Teufelsdröckh (1833-34, abbreviated as SR) ” written by Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881), a well-known 19th century Scottish thinker, historian and critic. This research focuses on the Godlike concept that the Philosophy of Clothes in SR believes exists in everyone's heart, and aims to clarify the conditions of architects as practitioners of social reform through the moral development that polishes it, and of their architectural works.
