"This study gathers and interprets the earliest extant references to architects in ancient Greek philosophy, as found in select works of Plato and Aristotle. Throughout this review, Plato and Aristotle [are] shown to consistently present architectonic agents as exemplary civic and intellectual leaders, acting in awareness of their own (and others’) limits, with knowledge of the most appropriate archē, and with a view to the most comprehensive aims—the common good. This discloses an alternative and more accurate etymology of architects: not as master-builders but as leaders and makers of beginnings (archai). The aim of this essay has been not only to rediscover the discursive beginnings for a renewed philosophy of architecture, but to suggest how these philosophical 'archai' might help present-day architects reimagine the full relevance of their still contested role."

How to draw architecture before architecture?
Wich is the very first stroke?
How to explain architecture after the design process has been finished?
This complete book presents results of a research held by the authors at A Coruña Architecture School (ES) around the way the sutdent depict architectonic ideas on their Final Projects.

L’ouvrage qu’on va lire se veut être une fondation transcendantale des logiques développementales (essentiellement celle de Leśniewski). Une telle démarche n’a jamais été tentée. Pour ce faire, il a fallu remonter aux sources immanentes de la Critique de la Raison Pure et de son architectonique. L’auteur a ainsi produit une apparence ontologique correspondant à l’ontologie du logicien polonais. Pour saisir la portée des définitions de la vérité et de l’objet, Marc Peeters convoque quatre concepts : la discrépance, le simulacre, la reprise et l’historicité transcendantale. Ces concepts et les principes qui les régissent servent à repenser la logique chez Kant et à poser la question renouvelée, historique et logique, de la métaphysique.

The philosophical conception of Christian themes presented in this work is intended primarily for architects. The assembly of the system of architectonics is presented, which unfolds on the basis of the logic of eccentricities studied by us. The central theme is the basic forms, structures and signatures of architectonics. The article gives a brief description, sketch of the architectonic system. Философская концепция христианской тематики представленная в данной работе предназначена прежде всего архитекторам. Представляется сборка системы архитектроники, которая разворачивается на основании изучаемой нами логики эксцентриситетов. Центральной темой являются базовые формы, структуры и сигнатуры архитектоники. В статье дано краткое описание, эскиз архитектонической системы.

The article deals with the concept of architectonic articulation as a personal representation of an architectural form in details. Articulation is investigated experimentally in the footsteps of perception of the architectural form, fixed by methods of oculography and myography. The peculiarities of using these methods are considered. It makes possible to obtain new knowledge on how to make this method of detailing the architecture for the implementation of appropriate automated software computer technologies for architectural design and shaping. The results of special calculations and experiments are presented in the form of appropriate compensatory architectonic compositional models - tectonic and atectonic models, allowing to perform the corresponding description of architectural works from the position of architectonics. The possibility of correction of a composition of an architectural work on the basis of the analysis of visual maps, which enable to reveal their features, indicating the possibility of editing and improving the quality of articulation of an architectural composition.
