A Theory of Architecture - Book by Nikos A. Salingaros

Nikos A. Salingarosโ€™ A Theory of Architecture presents a scientific and philosophical approach to understanding the principles of architecture. Salingaros challenges traditional architectural ideas and suggests that buildings and urban spaces should be designed in harmony with human well-being, nature, and social needs. Drawing on mathematics, biology, and complexity theory, he argues that architecture should prioritize complexity, pattern, and human-scale designs that foster positive psychological and social outcomes.
