The Georg Forster-Building is situated on the campus of Mainz University. Most prominent is its glass façade. The present text analyzes systematically the architectural design and its power to fascinate thus contributing to current debate and critique of visual art.
This leads to a major issue: Which position should art history take between the common perception of images and the scientific analysis of images and their perception? In the course of this paper an answer will be provided which will draw on art history, philosophy of science and current sociology of space in order to formulate an art historical critique of space.
