Abstract text:
The theory architecture considers the whole sphere of architecture as a study matter and has applications in fields belonging both to the practice and the knowledge. These are: architectural experience and architectural output (designing), to which we must add the architectural research, the history of architecture and the architecture criticism. The theory enables us to understand the architectural experience, our perceptions in the „lived” architecture. It also defines the factors which determine the creation of an architectural work and makes possible the critical estimate of the quality of a certain solution in a concrete case. The theory gives a conceptual base to the architectural research, pointing out the problems and putting its results in order; without o coherent theoretical basis, both architectural research and history of architecture lead only to knowledge without profoundness. Each of these application fields goes through its own dynamic process, and, in its turn, the theory of architecture, having multiple interconnections with them, is a complex subject, in a continuous evolution.
