Originally developed in linguistics, the structuralist approach has
been introduced as a scientific method in anthropology and other
human sciences since the 1950s. In the 1960s and 1970s the double
category of primary and secondary structure (langue and parole),
essential to structuralism, in which the primary structure's system
of rules determines how the secondary elements are placed in
relation to one another, also advanced to a leading Ideology in the
field of architecture and urban planning. From its development in
the Netherlands and within the Team 10 circle of architects,
structuralism in architecture quickly spread world-wide. Since the
1990s we have been witnessing a revival of structuralist tendencies
in architecture. Whereas the structuralism of the 1970s encountered
limits in complexity that were insurmountable at the time, today
there is much to suggest that the return to structural thinking is
causally connected to information technology, which has opened up
new possibilities for dealing with complexity. In the field of
digital architecture there is talk of neo-Structuralism. The
question arises as to whether primary and secondary structures of
the 1960s should be understood today as being in a state of complex
interactions with one another that could be described through
algorithms. The current interest in design methods based on rules
makes the structuralist approach one of the most productive and
comprehensive methods for the organisation, design, and production
of the built environment. At the same time, it provides the
systemic and meta-theoretical background for all disciplines
involved in the production of space. This book is a collection of
47 articles by renowned authors including, among others, Roland
Barthes, Koos Bosma, Joerg Gleiter, Herman Hertzberger, Arnulf
Luchinger, Winy Maas, Sylvain Malfroy, Hasim Sarkis, Fabian
Scheurer, and Georges Teyssot. Through well-founded theoretical
contributions, the book provides the first comprehensive
representation of historical and contemporary digital structural
thinking in architecture and urban planning.
