Courtyard and Loggia 1935
“The courtyard is a part of the house but it is also connected to something far beyond the Self., to look into the eye of God.”
Courtyard and Loggia, 1935
In 1935, the desire arose in me for a piece of fenced-in land, I needed a larger space that would stand open to the sky and to nature.
And so — once again after an interval of four years — I added a courtyard and a loggia by the lake, which formed a fourth element that was separated from the unitary threeness of the house.
Thus a quaternity had arisen, four different parts of the building, and, moreover, in the course of twelve years…
This fourth element opens the self up to nature and the sky, to the divine and the cosmos. The courtyard is a part of the house but it is also connected to something far beyond the Self., to look into the eye of God
