Intervals in the Philosophy of Architecture explores fundamental questions concerning the practice of architecture and examines the potential of architecture. The essays in this collection explore architectural form and content in the hope of finding new and better alternatives to traditionally accepted practices. It collects essays exploring fundamental questions concerning the practice of architecture through its history and theories. As we near the end of the millennium , the time have come for us to attempt to differentiate between architecture and building in terms other than those of eighteenth – century aesthetics- to reach beyond the exhausted philosophical distinction between the good and the beautiful and to articulate the specific status of architecture as embodying wisdom while remaining in the context of a thoroughly utilitarian ,constructed world – our technological world.

One word is used for very different concepts such as functional architecture, data architecture, solution architecture or enterprise architecture. In addition, boundaries between architecture and design are unclear. Some say they are similar concepts. Others argue that they are complementary concepts with different levels of abstraction. To do so here are some ways generating 3 dimensional form: 1-Pragmatic 2-Iconic 3-Analogic 4-Canonic -Pragmatic design Design is about making stuff, we make stuff to test our hypotheses. The word pragmatic itself says: dealing with things sensibly and realistically in a way that
