Abstract:

Apart from a brief overview of architectural communication viewed from the standpoint of theory of information and semiotics, this paper contains two forms of dualistically viewed architectural communication. The duality denotation/connotation (?primary? and ?secondary? architectural communication) is one of semiotic postulates taken from Umberto Eco who viewed architectural communication as a semiotic phenomenon. In addition, architectural communication can be viewed as an intra and an extra activity of architecture where the overall activity of the edifice performed through its spatial manifestation may be understood as an act of communication. In that respect, the activity may be perceived as the ?behavior of architecture?, which corresponds to Lefebvre?s production of space.

Abstract:

The aim of this paper is to discuss the realm of values upon which thoughts on architecture have been conceived, through the drawings of architectural detail. Although modernism, which opposes technical detail and ornament, is still regarded as influential theoretical position, it neglects to address a broader meaning of a detail in architecture. The research disputes the opposition between an ornament and a technical detail, claiming that a detail in architecture is the more abstract term, which represents a certain level of design thought besides utility and embellishment. It is argued that both modern and traditional values from different aspects of societal and cultural activities, as for their changes were being referenced to the micro level of architecture, transforming the way of their presence through different visual representations of detail along the history and theory of profession. In this paper, the small-scale drawings are used as a medium a medium which reflects transdisciplinarity of the profession and its entanglement with the knowledge and dynamics of other fields of human activity such as philosophy, economy, religion, engineering, and arts.

Abstract:

The article deals with the problem of visuality in the context of space from the point of view of visual semiotics. The choice of the problem determined the methodology, which is based on a semiotic approach. Visual semiotics uses induction as the main tool: analyzing individual elements of space, i.e. signs, it moves to the generalization of the results at the level of semiotics as a whole. The author believes that visual images captured in various architectural structures play an important role in shaping the social structure, the space of everyday communication, and the interaction practices of observing subjects. The purpose of the article is to characterize the basic principles of visual semiotics which reflect the theoretical understanding of urban architecture as a sign system. It is established that the main theoretical principles of visual semiotics in relation to space consist in the following provisions: first, visual artifacts which flood the city space are facts of communication, since they have a linguistic orientation and are perceived as signs. Secondly, the main property for a visual message is capacity – in a short period of time, the subject is able to perceive a much larger amount of information than from the text. And third, it is established that reading and generating new interpretations of urban space occur through everyday practices, during which the surrounding visual space is appropriated and personalized.

Abstract:

Purpose Compared with its status in Islamic history, the mosque today has become a distinctive phenomenon, perceived as an identity vessel of contemporary Islamic architecture that conveys sacred metaphysical meanings. Since the advent of modernity Muslim societies has become increasingly secularized; the relationships of the sacred–secular and the divine-based demythologized knowledge have been deformed. The mosque was glossed over as the sole contemporary sacred edifice that bears metaphysical/Islamic connotations with cultural continuity. Its architecture, meanings and function have gone through a process of metamorphosis, particularly the state mosques. The contemporary mosque as such is facing a “semiological deterioration.” State mosques today are symbolic statements and communicative messages of their rulers’ power and national sovereignty, with a subsidiary role for worship, i.e., the sacred has turned into a secular power metaphor. This led to a state semantic confusion accompanied by a loss in the deeply rooted collective cultural codes of the sacred. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the metamorphosis of the semiological connotation of the contemporary mosque, with a special focus on grand state mosques, and its effects on the architecture of the contemporary mosque. Design/methodology/approach This paper is theoretical research (no case studies included). Findings The metamorphosis that the contemporary mosque is experiencing today as a religious edifice with symbolic connotations and architectural iconism is but an effect of the changes that occurred in the concept of the scared and its relationship to the secular in contemporary Muslim communities, as a result of modernity. Such conceptual changes led to altering the deeply rooted cultural codes to be replaced by new intentional codes, used today as vehicles of communication in mosque architecture, especially in grand state mosques. Contemporary state mosques with its new symbolism and semantic meanings have contributed to redefining the concept of the contemporary mosque in general. Originality/value Mosque architecture today receives a significant importance. Many conferences and awards are dedicated to celebrating this phenomenon. Attempts to define the criteria and style of the contemporary mosque architecture are mounting. However, rarely there are studies that defy such attempts in a critical manner. This research seeks to criticize such approaches by highlighting the essence of the transformation in mosque architecture and its relationship to the concepts of the sacred and the secular, from a semiological perspective.

Abstract:

The article deals with the study of the semiotic opportunities of the urban space as a learning tool. The authors analyze the literature on urban research and point to the significant interest of the education system in various manifestations of urban life: architectural, design, environmental, adaptational, etc. The notion of “city” in numerous studies usually means an environment full of different natural objects and structures. The latter should include houses, sculptural and architectural monuments, specially organized urban space, for example, the city center and its peripheral area marked with certain signs. Researchers insist that a city is a complex semiotic space in which a citizen lives and navigates. Various types of signs are actively involved in the organization of urban life (Ch. Peirce). Thus, iconic signs make it easy to navigate the city without resorting to decoding symbolic signs, i.e. without reading the signs and names of, for example, stores: a boot hanging next to the signboard allows one to determine that the citizen is in front of a shoe store. A child navigates such signs easily, however, participating in orienting activities on par with adults. The purpose of this article is to consider the city learning opportunities for helping young children to form the semiotic activity which is included in various types of educational activities. The novelty of the research presented in the article is confirmed by the lack of scientific publications that directly consider the educational opportunities of urban space semiotics. The main research method is the code reconstruction method. The figure of a child plays an important role in the study. The child acts as the central subject of perception of the city-textbook. Following the idea of the most prominent researchers of semiotics, the authors regard the city as a text for a child to read. The analytical part of the article is based on recording children’s impressions of the urban text.

Abstract:

AbstractEvaluation of other cultures is a strong force in a culture’s definition of itself. Cultures are formed in encounters that include domination, conflict, and dismissal as much as appreciation and smooth exchange. In this paper, the construction of cultural identity is discussed, with reference to a Scandinavian Theme Park proposal made in cooperation between American design consultants and a local Swedish team of planners and visionaries. The image production in this design proposal, which never came to be realised in architectural production, shows that “Scandinavia” appears as a two-some dialogic construction that adopts stereotyped cultural identities, and that it was not brought to any wider public dialogue. In a semiotic account of this architectural decision-making, models of culture (Lotman. 1990. Universe of the mind: A semiotic theory of culture. London: Tauris.) are discussed in terms of the tripartition of culture into Ego-culture, Alter-culture and Alius-culture (Sonesson. 2000. Ego meets alter: The meaning of otherness in cultural semiotics. Semiotica 128(3/4). 537–559.; Cabak Rédei, Anna. 2007. An inquiry into cultural semiotics: Germaine de Staël’s autobiographical travel accounts. Lund: Lund University Press.), considered as a basic abstracted backdrop of what is meant by cultural difference. In this paper it is suggested that this tripartite view on culture, can be further discussed in reflection of post-colonial studies, notably through terms such as “mimicry” (Bhabha. 1984. Of mimicry and man: The ambivalence of colonial discourse. October 28. 125–133.) and “subalterity” (Spivak. 1988. Can the subaltern speak?. In Cary Nelson & Lawrence Grossberg (eds.), Marxism and the interpretation of culture, 271–313. Urbana & Chicago: University of Illinois Press.). The model of culture can furthermore be discussed through Peirce’s distinction between different stages and carriers of representation, adding to the cultural model an understanding of what it means, over time, for a culture to relate to an admired as well as to a neglected other cultural actor.

Abstract:

The development of architecture along with the development of situations and conditions that exist in the community. In this postmodernism era, architectural design is not only based on one paradigm, but is more free to choose the architectural design figure that will be achieved. The development of this infinite design can be studied or appreciated through a communication approach between an architectural object and an observer. The architectural design of this era can have different meanings among observers. This proves that the communication system does not guarantee the meaning of a building. This system only runs that the building can be interpreted based on a communication system in the form of a sign like the one in Semiotics. Using qualitative and quantitative descriptive methods in seeing the current development of architecture. This gives the conclusion that architectural design not only has a meaning but many meanings in accordance with the design paradigm used.

Abstract:

AbstractIn this paper I claim that the spatial structural system of Shanghai Shikumen Longtang constitutes a sign system based on its architectural semiotics. The paper focuses on the structure of the architectural space, including the interactive relationship between the architectural spatial structure and its residents. The research agenda undertakes a theoretical study of modern architectural semiotics by means of syntactic and semantic analyses of the spatial structure of Shanghai Shikumen Longtang, including as well an analysis of the pragmatics of meaning in production and reproduction in Shanghai Shikumen Longtang. The application of spatial language grammar in the analysis reveals the meaning of the sign system of the architectural spatial structure and pragmatic communication of Shanghai Shikumen Longtang, decodes the profound and intricate signification in the spatial system of Shanghai Shikumen Longtang and suggests a deeper and broader view for recognizing the underlying meaning system of the Longtang in the urban space of modern Shanghai City.

Abstract:

Un bâtiment ne parle pas, mais il communique d'une autre manière des messages qui sont le reflet des idées des architectes. Si l'architecture est un langage, si elle est une " écriture d'idées ", alors comment rendre l'idée visible ? Comment peut-on, dans un sens métaphorique, faire parler un bâtiment ? Nous proposons alors une hypothèse analogique : " Si le bâtiment parlait alors il parlerait chinois ". Cette hypothèse oriente nos recherches vers l'étude des rapports entre langage architectural et langage naturel. À l'intérieur de ce champ interdisciplinaire, l'écriture graphique et idéographique chinoise devient notre objet référentiel. Les caractères chinois unifient la forme et le sens en même temps, ils proposent une figuration des idées fondée sur le système idéographique. De par sa logique combinatoire et ses procédés rhétoriques, le processus de figuration des caractères chinois est un processus de transformation de formes simples vers des formes complexes, passant de significations limitées à des significations riches. Ce processus de conception de caractères montre également une série de schèmes idéographiques qui pourrait constituer un système méthodologique de sémantisation pour la représentation architecturale. Ainsi, l'écriture idéographique et l'écriture architecturale, pris comme deux processus de figuration peuvent parallèlement se comparer, et l'écriture idéographique pourrait proposer un outil conceptuel pour l'écriture architecturale. Il s'agit d'examiner un nouveau modèle linguistique qui pourrait être utile pour la conception de l'architecture contemporaine.

Abstract:

Esta dissertação tem por objetivo explorar a espacialidade simbólica em arquitetura. Para tanto, principia expondo de maneira sucinta conceitos fundamentais de semiótica arquitetônica, situando o debate do simbolismo em arquitetura dentro de uma abordagem comunicacional do fenômeno arquitetônico. Em seguida expõe algumas considerações acerca da questão mais ampla do sentido em arquitetura, da qual entende-se que a questão do simbolismo em arquitetura faça parte. Apesar de partir inicialmente de uma visão vulgar do conceito de símbolo, baseada livremente na conceituação dada por Charles Peirce, esta dissertação explora também diferentes abordagens oriundas da semiótica, da lingüística, da psicanálise, da filosofia e da própria arquitetura, de forma a encontrar novos elementos que a auxilie a alcançar uma posição particular em relação ao símbolo, adequada ao seu uso em teoria da arquitetura. Partindo desta exploração do conceito de símbolo, a dissertação prossegue analisando a construção do símbolo em arquitetura ? seus mecanismos e aplicação. Trata então do simbolismo estrutural, implícito e identificado com o edifício em si, e do simbolismo aplicado, explícito e aposto à edificação. Para tanto parte da distinção que Venturi, Brown e Izenour fazem do simbolismo do ?pato? e do ?galpão decorado?. Em sua segunda parte a dissertação oferece exemplos do simbolismo em arquitetura religiosa, não se limitando a uma tradição ou a um contexto específico. A intenção é ilustrar o debate teórico desenvolvido na primeira parte ao mesmo tempo em que se aprofunda a questão de um simbolismo arquitetônico específico ? aquele da arquitetura religiosa. Além de uma introdução geral ao simbolismo do edifício religioso são analisadas as diferentes escalas de manifestação do símbolo no edifício: em sua localização, implantação, forma e conteúdo. A dissertação conclui com uma reflexão acerca de algumas das questões suscitadas e uma especulação acerca de caminhos possíveis para futuras pesquisas.
The aim of this dissertation is to explore the symbolic quality of space in architecture. Hence, it begins showing in a concise way basic concepts of architectural semiotics, placing the debate of the symbolism in architecture inside a communicational approach of the architectural phenomenon. After that it displays some considerations about the broadest question of the meaning in architecture, of which one understands that the question of architectural symbolism is a portion. Despite starting out from a vulgar concept of symbol, based freely in its given conceptualization by Charles Peirce, this dissertation explores also different approaches deriving from the semiotics, the linguistics, the psychoanalysis, the philosophy and the architecture itself, in such a way to find new elements that assist it to reach a particular position in relation to the symbol, proper for its use in architectural theory. Leaving from this exploitation of the symbol concept this dissertation goes on analyzing the construction of the symbol in architecture ? its mechanisms and application. It deals then with the structural symbolism, implicit and identified with the building in itself, and with the applied symbolism, explicit and attached to the building. For that, it parts from the distinction that Venturi, Brown and Izenour make of the symbolism of the \"duck\" and of the symbolism of the \"decorated shed\". In its second part this dissertation presents examples of the symbolism in religious architecture, not limiting itself to a tradition or a specific context. The intention is to illustrate the developed theoretical debate of its first section altogether deepening the debate of a specific architectural symbolism ? that of the religious architecture. Beyond a general introduction to the symbolism of the religious building, the different scales of manifestation of the symbol in the building are analyzed: in its localization, implantation, form and content. This dissertation concludes with a reflection concerning some of the stirred up questions and a speculation about possible paths for future researches.

Abstract:

This study aims to furnish a semiotic reading of Sydney's Chinatown by analysing the environmental meanings codified in that particular context. The basic unit of analysis is the shop sign. Some features underlying sign formations in Sydney's Chinatown are identified and the communication process involved in its organisation of meanings and space is explored. The thesis is organised into three parts. The first part gives an introduction to the background of study and examines theories on architectural semiotics and its relation to visual communication. It consists of three chapters. Chapter 1 defines the scope of the study and outlines the objectives and goals of research. Chapter 2 focuses on two related fields of architectural semiotics, viz. semiotics of objects and semiotics of space. Evaluation of semiotic approaches and behavioural science approaches to the study of objects and space is made. Some of the theories discussed are applied to give a profile of shop signs from a visual semiotic perspective. In Chapter 3 a description of the methods of research and an outline of the analytical framework of this study are given. The two chapters of Part Two provide some background information on various conceptions of "Chinatown". Chapter 4 discusses the development features of Chinatowns in North America, which reveal that there are divergent perceptions of Chinatowns. Chapter 5 describes the development of Sydney's Chinatown and underlines some of its distinctive features. In Part Three the results of the study are presented. Chapter 6 focuses on the codification of meanings realised in Sydney's Chinatown. Chapter 7 is concerned with elements of sign formations and examines the communicative functions of shop signs in the Chinatown context. The analyses made in these chapters are intended to identify some features of sign formations in Sydney's Chinatown within an architectonic system. The thesis concludes with a summary of the study and a discussion of the applicability of architectural semiotic theories. It is suggested that further study can be pursued in the direction that contributes to an understanding of architectonic systems and social communication.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis addresses a problematic of meaning and of semiotics in architecture by considering a number of questions. Why have meaning and semiotics been of concern in architectural discourse? How did semiotics enter that discourse? How does it operate there? The first chapter explores the notion of meaning in art, assuming this to have bearing on meaning in architecture. Functionalism is investigated as an implicitly semantic view of architecture: it is proposed that it is the failure of functionalism in practice which underlies the recent concern with meaning. Chapter 2 introduces the work of eight semioticians: Saussure, Peirce, Morris, Mukarovsky, Jakobson, Levi-Strauss, Barthes, and Eco. Chapter 3 poses the question of why semiotics has been attractive to architects. Attention is given to Tafuri's notion that semiotics serves both to bolster the current status of architecture (by blockading investigation of its discursive characteristics) and as radial criticism. Work by Norberg-Schulz and by Jencks is shown to be blockade; that by Agrest and Gandelsonas more nearly critical. It is proposed that semiotics and the discourse of modern architecture are epistemologically analogous, which circumstance has facilitated and been conditional to the entry of semiotics into architecture. The fourth chapter examines Eco's and Preziosi's rigorous semiotic theories of the built. Both have been posited, however, as theories of architecture; as such they impede rather than foster theorizing with respect to architectural discourse. Chapter 5 assumes a (semiotic) model of architecture as a hierarchy of codes (building, language, drawing, photography). The role of language in architecture is shown to be more important than is generally conceded. Architectural discourse is also shown to be dependent on photography, and, by implication, on other graphic modes. While bearing in mind the links between the postmodern and radical strains of semiotics, the final chapter surveys architecture in culture's present postmodern moment. If the problematic of meaning in architecture has been motivated by the 'emptiness' of the built world constructed under the aegis of functional architecture, this problematic cannot be taken as a recuperation. Rather, the advent of semiotics in the discourse of architecture may signify its transposition to an unknown discursive configuration.

Abstract:

A pesquisa lançou um olhar sobre a produção arquitetônica de Peter Eisenman e sobre a cidade de Berlim, buscando centrar-se na análise de uma obra específi ca, o Memorial dos Judeus Assassinados da Europa. O texto construído é uma reunião de instantâneos de percurso, de fragmentos de uma narrativa imaginada e interpretada pelo verbal. Tentando construir uma análise que contemplasse de alguma maneira a dimensão da experiência da obra, foi promovido o cruzamento com comentários e análises escritas em outros momentos, com refl exões feitas a partir de achados de pesquisa, com recortes de textos e imagens e desenhos analíticos feitos ao longo do trabalho. Assim, o conjunto de três capítulos procura desenhar um percurso análogo ao desenvolvido ao longo da pesquisa, procurando permanecer atento ao suporte texto/imagem de uma dissertação e condensando o processo de três anos no relato fi ccional de uma jornada de um dia. No primeiro capítulo é feita uma espécie de panorâmica cronológica da obra de Eisenman que, no entanto, não conta a sua história, mas a do pesquisador seguindo a trilha deixada pelo arquiteto. No segundo capítulo a jornada ganha tempo e espaço com a sequencia que narra a chegada à cidade de Berlim e o percurso até o Memorial dos Judeus Assassinados da Europa, cuja análise é feita no terceiro capítulo.
This research takes an overview of the architectural output of Peter Eisenman and more generally, the city of Berlin. The research then focusses on an analysis of a single specifi c work, the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. The text itself is constructed from moments in a perambulation of the work and fragments of an imagined narrative. As an attempt to construct an analysis which contemplates the physical experience of the work, this method interlaces commentaries and analyses made at different times, refl ections on fi ndings of the research and snippets of text, images and drawings made during the course of the research. As a whole, the three chapters seek to illustrate the route taken during the research. Whilst remaining aware of the need to support the text/images of a dissertation, the text aims to condense the process of three years of research into the fi ctional story of a single day. The fi rst chapter gives a chronological overview of the works of Eisenman. This is not recounted as a history of the works, but as an account of the researcher following the trail left by the architect. The second chapter gains time and space with a sequence that narrates the arrival of the researcher in Berlin and the journey to the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. The analysis of the Memorial itself is contained in the third chapter.

Full text

Abstract:

Intersecting spaces is a qualitative case study that examines a third-year group of undergraduate architectural students’ meaning-making in an Irish Higher Education(HE) Institute of Technology (IoT) through a social semiotic multimodality lens. Architectural students face many challenges in their studies but a core undertaking concerns their capacity to address the rhetorical component of making architecture. The research addressing architectural communication through a social semiotic multimodality lens, particularly in an Irish architectural education setting, is limited. My constructivist leanings underpinned my decision to develop a case study, and use four research tools, a focus group, observation, a questionnaire, and semi-formal interviews. My main research question considers to what extent the multimodal communication resources the participants use, during an observed review, work together to enact meaning? The research forming the frame for this study embodies five intersections between the architectural and social semiotic multimodality domains, namely ‘the environment’, ‘rhetorical component’, ‘resources’, ‘multimodality’, and ‘communication and learning’. Several main findings emerge. The participants’ level of insider knowledge relates directly to their ability to access and participate fully in the shared knowledge and skill base repertoire of the community of practice at the research site and shapes their rhetorical meaning-making. The participants’ multimodal literacy levels regarding choosing and using multimodal resources across the analogue and digital environment influences their ability to make rhetorical meaning. The dynamic nature of the orchestrated ensemble in the observed review underlines the performative aspect of the participants’ rhetorical meaning-making from the social semiotic multimodality angle. In foregrounding the overlapping architectural communication and social semiotic multimodality aspects of the architectural participants’ meaning-making, this study addresses my main research question. The study builds on architectural design and communication research by exploring the issue through an unfamiliar lens and contributes as an exemplar to the limited social semiotic multimodality research focused on meaning-making in the Irish architectural education context.

Abstract:

Populating the urban fabric of the host environment with myriad objects for sale, the street market produces a brief, exuberant and perishable system of interior spaces. While the market is taking place, the semiotics of the domestic unexpectedly disguise the city’s streets. With a fluctuating number of vendors and an oscillating volume of merchandise, street markets defy prescribed architectural boundaries, raising dilemmas about flexibility and design control when using standard architectural components to provide permanence. Although nominally outdoors, what street markets thrive on is a captivating kind of interiority, a mutable medium, characterized by cycles of change. Rather than following architectural typologies, the design of permanent market stalls might profitably turn its focus to models of interior occupation.

Abstract:

Urban space is composed of various dimensions and contexts that generate urban forms. The spatial distributions of urban elements have different layers of connotative indications associated with Society's shared knowledge. The implying semiotics affect space configuration that could lead either to generate a compact or sprawl urban fabric. However, it is essential to know how the semiotic elements affect space configuration. The research aims to locate semiotic elements that have a role in space configuration. The research methodology depends on finding the semiotic values through a practical survey combined with a GIS tool to locate the correlations between the most valuable signs using the chi-square method. Also, to build a model for assessing the cognitive semiotic elements. The model gives a clue to explain how the spatial configuration is affected by the existence of semiotic values and shifts its values accordingly.

Abstract:

The study on bridge criticism is an interdisciplinary research of the theory of bridge engineering, architectural criticism, art criticism and bridge aesthetics. It is an important part of design theory of bridges. Generally speaking, bridge criticism is the identification and evaluation of creative thoughts of bridges, the design of bridges, the process of bridge construction and service, and the social individual and public using of bridges. This research focuses on the forming process, operating model, characteristics and value of bridge criticism. The main research contents include axiology, subjectivity theory, semiotics and methodology of bridge criticism. Based on theories of bridge criticism, this paper comes up with an evaluation method of urban bridges.
