Description
Charles Sanders Peirce was a logician whose ideas about truth and meaning gained legitimacy through practical application. His work has had a significant impact on architecture, particularly in relation to building users, the design process, and utility. Peirce's theory of semiotics, which studies the science of signs, is a key area of focus for this book. The study of semiotics was divided into two main camps in the 1980s: those who followed Peirce's ideas and those who were influenced by structuralism. This book explores why structuralism became more prominent in architectural discourse during this period and what can be gained from reviving a Peircean semiotics. By examining Peirce's work, architects can gain new insights into the design process and how to make it more transparent and open to scrutiny. This book provides a critical study of Peirce's ideas and their relevance to contemporary architectural practice.
