Publisher Description
There are three types of Architectural Treatise: "the beautiful and the aesthetic"; "construction techniques"; and "usages and commodities".
This treatise opens up a 4th way: "meaning and signification".
Given that Architecture is an Art, more than just a programme, it expresses the thinking of its author, and his or her vision of the world, in a socio-geographic and historical context.
How does Architecture proceed so as to relay to everyone a message, which is as unambiguous as possible? How is it possible to read and understand the Architectures around us, from our own era, or in other regions?
Architecture is One, it is an expression of a thought, whose vocation is to be read and interpreted so as to establish particular behaviours.
Architecture uses space and matter, which it merges into a silent text which we all know how to read, intuitively.
This treatise highlights the rules, tools and means used by Architecture to express its artistic and social message, and explains the meanings and significations of each of its parts.
