Theory of Architecture Introduction Dr. Yasser Mahgoub

Introduction • What is the relationship between: –History –Theory –Design

History

Theory Design

Introduction • Architectural theory is the act of thinking, discussing, and writing about architecture.

thinking

writing

Architectural Theory

Introduction • Some forms that architecture theory takes are the lecture or dialogue, the treatise or book, and the paper project or competition entry.

Introduction • Books, magazines, and journals published an unprecedented number of works by architects and critics in the 20th century.

Introduction • As a result, styles and movements formed and dissolved much more quickly than the relatively enduring modes in earlier history.

Introduction • It is to be expected that the use of the internet will further the discourse on architecture in the 21st century.
