Understanding of architecture

According to Hülsmann's understanding, the “idea of ​​a first architecture” precedes all building. This is the "alienation of inner images". His work and his building design apprenticeship in the successor of Emil Steffann also includes interior decoration (furniture) and artistic design (glass windows, liturgical equipment).
