The decree stated that the primary goal of sacred art was to educate the viewer and teach Catholic doctrine.
I think that the statement that came previously infers to more than just "education" but an integral spiritual reflection.

The philosophy of Existentialism was an influential undercurrent in art that aimed to explore the role of sensory perception, particularly vision, in the thought processes. Existentialism stressed the special character of personal, subjective experience and it insisted on the freedom and autonomy of the individual. Jean-Paul Sartre was Existentialism's most prominent advocate in the post-war period, and the bohemian circles in which he moved while in Paris included many artists. In this way, figures such as Alberto Giacometti, Jean Dubuffet, Jean Fautrier and Wols became associated with Existentialist philosophy. It also had some impact in the United States, particularly through the writing of art critic Harold Rosenberg. The philosophy was often poorly understood, even by those who called themselves Existentialists. Nevertheless, it shaped discussion of themes such as trauma, anxiety, and alienation; ideas which were pervasive in post-war art.
First emerged in the late 19th century. Looking at existentialism being the philosophical art form that was what led to the American Action Painters, we can see the true nature of the rebellion against images that the outer senses perceive. Existentialism is looking at the projections of life. Expressionism dives into the FEELING.

By unifying the images and architecture of different cultures and eras, Heizer strives to create art that could outlast many generations as he explores the effects of scale and symbolism on perception.
Humans, feel an undeniable need to make a lasting impression on the world. Something that lasts. From a psychological stand point it may simply be the basic need for shelter; protection against the elements. But in the art world, it's all about making an extremely specific statement that makes people question the intention behind the existing work. And then in turn make them question their own perception of reality and why things are the way they are.

Alexander points to the healing effect felt by anyone who attempts to generate living structure. This is the intense emotional reward for whoever creates living art, artifacts, music, and buildings in the pre-industrial sense. The production of beauty produces a healing effect on the maker. Alexander discovered a direct relationship between the creation of life and beauty, and an intense feeling of personal nourishment.
As an artist I identify with this feeling immensely. There is a certain form of tangible liberation that is formulated out of the moment in which something is created; sort of extrapolated from the soul space into ones reality.

The Alexandrian method of design begins by dreaming: “imagine the most wonderful place in the world to be in so as to accomplish this function or task.” This is, after all, the basic criterion for extracting a design pattern from numerous observations. If a created structure actually succeeds in this goal, then naturally whoever experiences it will cry tears from the intensity of the positive emotion.
We are attempting to create places that light us on fire. There are places that exist, in other realms perhaps that are intangible and invisible to the naked eye, but maybe there is a way that we can transmute these "internal" spaces of resonance and build them into the physical world that we reside in. Reality.

Living architecture (today as in historical times) can be created only within a conception of matter that is not mechanical. Alexander offers an astonishing hypothesis: that we can use living architecture to influence physics. Discoveries from architecture—how to generate living structure through materials—could revise our cosmology to reveal a richer and more correct physical reality.
Definition of "living archetexture"
Living architecture is defined as the use of forces and possibilities given by natural living organisms to help and build low-cost and sustainable construction. Living architecture is not a new concept as it has been used for centuries.

Evolve and shape what you’re making so that it is connected to everything else it can possibly connect to. But this idea underlines the basic incompatibility with current architectural culture, where each design shouts “look at me.” This is the opposite of life, where something blends in perfectly well with the world. The desire to be separate sabotages the creation of life.
How we choose to build the environment around us is a refection of our desire to be seen, and also a reflection on our relationship with ourselves.

urakami has expressed since early on a frustration with the lack of a reliable and sustainable art market in post-war Japan. Largely for this reason, he formulated a strategy wherein he would first establish himself in the Western art world and then import himself back to Japan, building a new type of art market in the
