The German Romantic Movement was born of asense that the self was forever apart from the world,longing for the recovery of a lost unity. In this context,the Apollonian impulse can be understood as aromantic urge to overcome distance, to be one withthe all through dreaming, which is nothing less thanthe transformation of the physical world into pureimage. The waking version is material imagination.Mies Van Der Rohe’s Villa Tugendhat radically reconceptualizesthe concept of house into an Appolonionjourney from the physical world into a dream stateof appearances.
