Conception and Misconceptions the Case of Structuralism in Architecture
Structuralism developed in linguistics and was transferred to numerous fields, like anthropology. Strauss searched for the underlying shared patterns of human thinking, the universal structures of thought. Secondly, the binary character of phonemes in language influenced him. The third aspect that influenced him was semiology, or semiotics the science of signs. This is called semiotic structuralism, where elements could change, but in such a way that the meaning is retained. Structuralism in architecture and planning appeared between 1928 and 1959. the earliest Structuralists Architect did not directly used the word Structuralism as it is used in linguistics and anthropology. Therefore, this paper aims to clarify the underlying concepts and interpretations of structuralism in a simple and concise manner. This study used a descriptive and explorative technique as research method. Interpretations and counter arguments were combined together to derive the true meaning and clarity of the subject topic under study.
