Open form assumed that no artistic expression is complete until it has been appropriated by its users or beholders.

Summary:
Oskar Hansen’s (1922–2005) theoretical concept of “open form” was developed in the context of international debates around late-modern architecture in the 1950s. Open form assumed that no artistic expression is complete until it has been appropriated by its users or beholders. In the following decades, the concept became a key principle of performance and film art, and led to the development of process-oriented and interdisciplinary artistic techniques. Hansen’s concept revolutionized the traditional means of artistic communication. This publication examines the impact of Hansen’s ideas within contemporary visual culture and the redefined role of the viewer since the 1960s.

Cities, estates and routing systems develop, change constantly and fundamentally cannot be planned. Claims to ownership, land and building regulations, planning decisions and political interventions make it difficult for settlement structures to adapt to constantly changing requirements to such an extent that meaningful and totally ecological use of the surface of the earth is becoming increasingly difficult, although new techniques and flexible planning models mean that a connection could be found with the self-designing processes of urban-development history.

Ils suivaient en cela la leçon d’Alberti, qui avait fait de son De re aedificatoria un traité non pas de l’art de bâtir, mais de sa politisation. Car l’architecture humaniste devenait un art de la persuasion. Elle était chargée d’exprimer ce que les mots n’osaient pas encore dire : l’absolutisation du pouvoir princier. Ce petit livre confronte cette folle ambition au déniaisement machiavélien, rappelant que s’il existe un langage architectural, alors celui-ci ménage aussi des non-dits, suscite des incompréhensions, trahit des lapsus.
