| Summary: | Architectural theory should not treat the relation of various scientific fields to architecture, but has to explore the nature of architecture itself. Architectural theory that moreover claims an immediate practical value for architectural design would have to coincide with the very act of conceiving. Such a theory has to be examined in respect of its relationship to science. Unlike sciences, which describe the existing reality claiming general validity, an architectural theory with relevance for the architectonic practice has to take into consideration that any architectonic project counts only for one single situation. Every time it represents something new that cannot be deduced. Regarding this it will be proposed to apply to architecture the method of abduction described by Ch. S. Peirce, besides demonstrating the scientific character of architectural design (according to Achim Hahn). In order to ascertain precisely the notion of architecture being the subject of design its characteristic properties have to be specified carefully. [Publication Abstract] |
