Interpretation in Architecture

More about the book

Focusing on the role of interpretation in architectural creation, this collection of essays reflects the experiences of educators in design studios who prioritize interpretation in architectural production and understanding. The introduction of computers in design has shifted expectations toward a scientific method, yet a more nuanced approach has emerged. The studio environment mirrors the intellectual climate of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, where humanists championed interpretation as a key reasoning mode in the humanities and social sciences.
