Architectural -Spatial Analysis

Abstract

What architecture adds to building: The concept is to set out the definition of architecture. The argument is that apart from being the basic necessity of bodily protection, buildings also contribute to the social needs. The two social needs being the social organisation of everyday life and the spatial configuration of space in which the function is imbibed. The social dimension of the building and the habits cultivated by human mind and practices are handled unconsciously and intuitively in the same way to handle the structures of language intuitively. The configurations are in general “non-discursive” meaning and is not talked about event if we are using it actively. In vernacular buildings the “non-discursive” is treated same as the grammar of language. In vernacular architecture the building reproduces cultural, spatial and formal patterns. Architecture is not practiced as the reduplication of these cultural patterns. Architecture is a speculative abstract thought to the non-discursive aspects of building, it’s also the application to the social and cultural contents of buildings.
