architectonic theory

Architectonic theory refers to the study of the structural organization and design principles underlying architectural works and related disciplines. It examines how different elements—such as form, space, materials, and functions—are systematically arranged to create cohesive, functional, and aesthetically pleasing structures. Think of it as understanding the "blueprint" of an architecture, not just in buildings but also in art and philosophy, where it explores the underlying frameworks that shape how spaces and ideas are constructed and experienced. It emphasizes the importance of architecture’s internal coherence and its relationship to human use and cultural context.
