"Architecture from Without"

"Architecture from Without" refers to the perspective of understanding architecture by examining its external appearance and relationship with the surrounding environment, rather than focusing solely on its internal layout or functions. This approach considers how buildings interact with their context—such as cultural, social, and aesthetic factors—and how they are perceived by people from an outside view. It emphasizes the impact of a structure on its surroundings and how design choices affect public perception, contributing to the overall character of a place while shaping the experience of those who encounter it.
