| Abstract | ||
| Today, many attempts and efforts are made to articulate the contemporary architectural practices in the early 21st century, where some contributions deal with the functionality and the performativity of the architectural buildings with respect to measurable parameters like optimization of consumption and efficiency, while others try to link the current practices with their historical traditional one. Some discussions are about parametricism and others about technology and IOT. These debates deal with architecture as a discipline of isolated islands where each stands alone and initiate in a new horizon that was never existed before. The research investigates the possible patterns of transitions of architectural paradigms which interrelates the current practices to their original paradigms, exploring the critical nature of evolutionary and revolutionary changes of architectural paradigms. This aims to introduce a novel approach in investigating and criticizing the practice of architecture with respect to its foundations and influencing parameters like beliefs, values and goals. Furthermore, interpretations to the philosophy of paradigm shift, a theory of drivers of paradigm changes, and the possible paradigms interplay is concluded to improve the understanding of the current paradigms of architectural practices. | ||
