On the Nature of the Psyche and Canary Wharf, London

[Paul Ferguson]

"In Psychology of the Unconscious Jung announced his hypothesis of the collective unconscious and the way it is represented in the stories and symbolism of myths and legends. Later, he uncovered this in the texts of the alchemists, especially the Rosarium Philosophorum, which he believed allegorised the archetype of relationship and new birth that Jung referred to as the mysterium coniunctionis. He recognised the same symbolic meaning in the building of his home ‘the tower’ at Bollingen, which represented his own individuation and new birth. Similarly group process might evoke or be influenced by archetypes, which are then manifested in socio-cultural phenomena one expression of which is architectural design. This article argues that such archetypal expression can be discerned in the design and landscaping of Canary Wharf in London."
