Pluralism in Architecture

Abstract

when 

studying the concepts that form arclLitecture through analyzing its
results along the time, the tension of intellect betwr:en the spiritual and intellectual
aspects arises.
The human civilizations through the history was always attempting to alien
between the spiritual and metaphysical research , and the pure scientific research
considering the first as studying the mysterious pheno nena , while science deals with
what is researchable subject to analysis which provides a concrete base for discussion
, as it offers clear facts that coutd be experimente,l and tested , because science
demands from human beings to deal with the universe and the facts of life and death
rationally , whereas life proves everyday that not all tlLe genuine are realistic , and the
interpretation stays the flame structure through whi ch we look at facts of life in the
process of searching for the variable in the invariable , and for all invariable in the
variables .
The research includes an attempt to clarify the concept ofmonism and
pluralism in the human intellect and the concept ol pluralism in the architectural
work.
The research has reached to explain the con,:ept ofpluralism in architecture
through the changing of the intellectual concepts in p ost modern architecture against
the concept of monism that modem architecture aC opted and their influence upon
creativity in architectural work.
