Review on Architectural Tectonics Through Meaning and Making

Abstract

The architectural tectonics is built upon a strong distinction between meaning and making. Since Vitruvius, the makers and thinkers seek fort he formulation of what good architecture is based upon such distinnction. Each time, good architecture has re-formulated and re-defined regarding the changes and the developments in the course of history. At this stage, this paper aims to map and re-frame the meaning and making through changing tectonic paradigms and aims to question the meaning and making in the context of advancing technology.
