Abstract
Architecture as a human action cannot be considered independent from human's perceptual experience. In this sense, architectural designs are the manifest of the architect's thought and experience. This manifesto aims to convince people like a philosophical book. Thereby, the art of persuasion establishes the relationship between architecture and rhetoric. Aphorism is one of the rhetorical tools used for convincing people and Friedrich Nietzsche is a prominent philosopher who wrote books in the style of aphorism. How aphorisms are used as a formal rhetorical tool in architecture is opened for discussion within the scope of the study by focusing on Nietzsche’s philosophy. In this sense, the origin and definitions of aphorism are evaluated and the basic concepts of Nietzsche's philosophy are examined. Then, detailed evaluations of the will to power notion in Nietzsche’s philosophy is carried out to fully comprehend the relationship between power and design. In this context, the aim of this study is to show the reflections of the will to power on architecture in Nietzsche's philosophy through his evaluations about power, art, and architecture. Therefore, it has been demonstrated that aphorisms are used as a formal rhetorical tool in architecture through the will to power. In conclusion, architecture is defined as a demonstration of power brought about by means of form, manifest, and formal rhetorical tool.
