There has forever been an inquiry with respect to whether architecture has had a pernicious beginning and provided that this is true, regardless of whether it is as yet being reproduced in current times. A detailed examination of Vitruvius' exemplary De Architectura, the book "The Body of Architecture" by Indra Kagis McEwen demonstrates that Vitruvius' motivation, which was recorded as a hard copy, was shaped by the majestic Roman task of global control. Antiquated town of Timaad in present-day Algeria addresses a noteworthy illustration of a Roman military settlement that was made ex nihilo (AD 100). It keeps the rules of Roman town arranging, an astounding matrix framework, which is as yet utilized today-the premise of this model being the " military camp”. (Sibi n.d.)

Most remainders of recorded developments are either remnant of the architecture of war

(fortifications, city dividers, lookouts), Herrschaftsarchitektur (power design), administering

class design (royal residences, palaces, courts) or strict structures. They were worked to dazzle, repress, implement, scare and guard".

Robert Bevan likewise notices a characteristic with the date 9/11 and how design is by all accounts a beneficiary for obliteration on this date, in particular the start of the on 09/11/1938: the tumbling of the primary areas of the Berlin Wall on 09/11/1989; the annihilation of the Mostar span on 09/11/1993: and the psychological oppressor assault on the Twin Towers in New York on 09/11/2001. In a show given in Sarajevo in 1993, the city's Association of Architects coined a fantastic neologism to depict the city's wartime ruins as "design" or war aided by and as the annihilation of Architecture.

However, there is another connection between architecture and conflict. This is an unusual cooperative interaction in which one appears to benefit and thrive from the other. Conflict and war not only gave birth to burden architecture, but also significantly spread design development.

AN ARCHITECTURE TOWARDS PEACE

The architecture of peace investigates how architects, urban designers, and planners can and should play a critical role in modifying and balancing out post-conflict spaces. By accepting that conflict and struggle are both ongoing circumstances that will not go away, it becomes necessary to address the complexities of these circumstances through an understanding of the various stages that occur during the foundation of harmony. The concepts of 'negative harmony' and 'positive harmony' are important in comprehending the complexities of international boundaries; and an examination of the circumstances in each of these stages can provide knowledge to a better establishment.(Starr 2006)

“Boundaries are not walls; they're portals and you decide who comes and goes into your sacred territory.”

― Toni Sorenson

Any place there is fierce struggle, limits, and lines are treated in a serious way. As the statement above suggests, limits assume a vague part, acting at the same time as a wellspring of safety and enmity, incorporation, and avoidance. Which limits become notable and on which side of the limit one stands might have the effect among life and demise. Both warfighting and peacebuilding are generally aggregate activity issues including cycles of 'debordering' and 'rebordering'. Since they are seen to be so significant, the change from battle to harmony includes complex and consistently conflictual dealing about the idea of physical and social limits. Harmony processes that are inhumane toward limit governmental issues hazard re-lighting struggle rather than solidifying the harmony. In Sri Lanka, for example, a bipolar model of arrangements, in view of the suspicion that there were two sound clashing gatherings - the Sri Lankan government and Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) controlling bordering 'land

in the south and upper east separately - neglected to oblige the complex intra-bunch divisions

which eventually tore the harmony interaction separated.(Sibi n.d.)

The actual acknowledgment for “An Architecture towards Peace” can be extensively utilized in three circumstances:

1. In post-conflict places 2. In areas of continuous clash

3. In areas of potential instability

Architectural writing and on location programs are promptly accessible in post-conflict zones yet are fundamentally ailing during the zones of progressing struggle and possible clash. Henceforth, with a plan of avoidance as the premise of this plan proposition, this theory has been organized such that it relies upon post-struggle for research however plan mediation in a setting of possible unpredictability.
