The term theory of architecture was originally simply the accepted translation of the latin
term. Ratiocinatio: as used by Vitruvius, to differentiate intellectual from practical knowledge in
architectural education, it it has come to signify the total basis for judging the merits of buildings
or building projects.
Design theory:
Architectural theory is vast and diverse, and encompasses at least three main areas:
Misconceptions are what usually keeps people from even trying to get into architecture
and design.
Myth 1, “I am not a creative person.” or, “I’m not just born creative.” People are not born
creative. People become creative. And the same way, we can try train our bodies to get stronger
and faster, we can create train our brains to be more creative. And we’re gonna do a lot of this in
this course. So stay tuned in the meantime you can safely say to yourself, “I’m not a creative
person.” And then you will see that you are right.
Myth 2, “ I wish I studied architecture but I don’t know how to draw.” What do I need to
become a designer? And I would say that first art that you just need to have a curiosity. Curiosity
about the world, and the way would days, and the way world could be. If you have that curiosity,
I’m sure you will make a relly good designer
