“Is architecture merely sculpture – the 3 Dimensional Compositions of forms in space? Is it the application of aesthetic considerations onto the form of buildings – the art of making building beautiful? Is it the decoration of buildings? Is it the introduction of poetic meaning into buildings? Is it the ordering of buildings according to some intellectual system – classicism, functionalism, post-modernism, etc?" (Unwin, S. 2014)

This synopsis attempts to interpret architecture according to established architectural theory and conditions within

which architecture is done.

LEARNING OUTCOMES :

1. Describe the theoretical issues related to design through study of architecture and urbanism and its related studies

2. Relate architectural theories to contemporary architecture and urban forms
