The writer discusses Karl Friedrich Schinkel's concept of architecture as a fine art. He examines the extent to which Schinkel's formal solutions, and the character, tectonics, and Neoclassicism of his buildings, can be related to the aesthetic of German Idealism, in particular the work of Friedrich Schiller. He shows that the idea of an education (Bildung) of a person through a viewing of beauty was at the center of Schinkel's conception of architecture.
