Both parts of this essay, published in the journal Hungarian Architecture, discuss links between Judaic-Jewish heritage and 19-20th century architecture. The first part, published in the previous issue, touched upon Judaic aniconism, as expressed in Adolf Loos\u2019 writings and work; mon(othe)ism and Jewish Messianism. It gave a short history of debates about Judaic and Jewish impact on post-Enlightenment architecture; and discussed the raison d’\u00eatre of researching \u2018Jewish architecture\u2019 for understanding modernism.
\nThis part presents a wider context of the aforementioned questions, a short survey on the impact of Judaic ideas on basic spatial concepts of western architectural history. It focuses on Judaic\/Jewish impact on 20th century cosmology, on the basis of Albert Einstein\u2019s and Hermann Minkowski\u2019s ideas, which exerted substantial impact on the theory of modern art and architecture. It also discusses the Einstein reception of some modern artists and theoreticians such as L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Moholy Nagy, El Lissitzky, Sigfried Giedion and their influence on modern architecture.<\/p>\n
