Depth architecture – A seminar on the aesthetic nature of the psyche, part of the Training Programmes in Analytical Psychology at the C. G. Jung-Institut Zürich
The Advanced Training Programmes in Analytical Psychotherapy at the C. G. Jung-Institut Zürich constitute a structured postgraduate curriculum officially recognised by the Swiss state, designed for medical doctors and psychologists. The programme integrates clinical practice with Jungian theory and includes core and specialised modules such as the federally recognised diploma in analytical psychotherapy, certified training in Jungian psychoanalysis, and the FMH title in psychiatry and psychotherapy.
Each semester brings together an international faculty of analysts, psychiatrists, and scholars who lecture on dreams, myth, alchemy, trauma, individuation, and contemporary cultural challenges. Alongside these central themes, the programme welcomes interdisciplinary perspectives – from philosophy to the arts – fostering dialogue between psyche and culture.
Within this scientific framework, the Autumn Semester 2025 includes Antonino Cardillo’s seminar on ‘depth architecture’, classified as AP1 (Fundamentals of Analytical Psychology), which situates architecture as a medium of aesthetic imagination and a symbolic expression of the psyche.

Stefano Carpani Jung’s Concept of Libido and its Practical Application in Analysis
The seminar discusses the realm of James Hillman’s ‘twilight ambivalence’ through an experiential recollection of Antonino Cardillo’s architectural oeuvre. By emphasising the historicity of the soul, the seminar promotes emancipation from reliance on factuality. It presents beauty as a sensual epiphany of the psyche, revealing the fundamental essence of its aesthetic nature: ‘To perceive, it must imagine’.
