SYSTEMIC AND ARCHITECTURE:CURRENT THEORETICAL ISSUES

摘要

Systemics approaches towards architecture, traditionally within a structuralist framework(especially within a technological environment), may evolve in a non-reductionist waythrough: -non-reductive considerations of the role of human requirements in the definition ofinhabited spaces; -acceptance of the use-perception dialogical relationship, and more generally of the art-science nexus, as being characteristic of architecture. Likewise, there are theoretical issues in the development of systemic, particularly withinthe discipline of architecture, including: - the role of the observer, in the constructivist sense and within the exceptions ofscientific realism; - the unpredictability of emergence, with its related limits (of purely ontologicalsignificance).
