Semiology of Architecture

Semiology of architecture is the study of how buildings communicate messages through their design. It examines symbols, forms, colors, and materials to understand what a structure says about its purpose, identity, or cultural context. Just as language uses signs and symbols to convey meaning, architecture uses visual elements to tell stories or establish atmosphere. This approach helps us interpret the intentions behind architectural choices and how buildings interact with their environment and users, making design a form of visual communication that reflects social, cultural, or personal values.
