RESUMO

Lukács’s Aesthetics might be seen as the synthetic product of a project of almost four decades aimed at characterizing that which he regarded to be the locus of the art and of the aesthetic practice, in the totality of human activities. In the fourth and last volume of this massive work there is a proper chapter focused on the study of architecture, which Lukács acknowledged alongside music the other particular case of the reflection of reality in the arts. According to Lukács, because the specific way in which it reflects reality and the collective character of its aesthetic mimesis, architecture was the sole art form that did not flourished in the late centuries and that manifests since the Renaissance, with the capitalist development, the decadent phenomena that led it to the blind alley in which it finds itself nowadays. The decadent architectonic phenomena become for him still more intense in late capitalism and reach in the modern architecture under the Bauhaus’s influence their most unambiguous expressions. The simplicity and scientificity of modern architecture, consciously disanthropomorphizing and inhuman (as art), fully depicts the emptiness and the poverty of capitalist life by means of its technicism. If in Marx the capitalist production is hostile towards art, in Lukács it represents the decadence of the architecture’s social mission and almost its destruction as art.
