Main Aims/Objectives

Architecture Epistemology can itself illustrate a set of signs that not only designate possibilities for the production of objects but a path for the production of other/new meanings. It will not only be a systematizing of languages of different disciplines of knowledge that have been fixed in a time and in a space, but the search in a heterogeneous area of knowledge that contributes to the construction of the architectural discipline.

Specific Aims/Objectives
