Abstract:

Architectural theory mostly is a history of individual views and ideologies about architecture that cannot be proved objectively and clearly. So it is not a „scientific theory“ in the sense of other sciences. To develop AT towards scientific transparency it is necessary to establish common rules and objective objectives for Architectural Theory like
- objective knowledge,
- explanation of cognitions,
- orientation inside of architecture.
