| Abstract | ||
| This paper aims to shed light on the current conceptual vision that has crystallized since the end of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century. This is to identify the intellectual and philosophical features of this period and the conceptual differences that occurred as a result of the great scientific and technological revolution. The research will discuss in some detail the expansion of linguistics and mathematical logic that resulted from the great development in the twentieth century through the encoding of the mathematical language to become a unified language of science. These attempts ended with the emergence of “digital” technology, which succeeded in converting all symbolic patterns into digital patterns. The research assumes that architecture today is a direct product of the digital revolution brought about by the great development in mathematical logic and the subsequent cognitive revolution. The paper also focuses its study on identifying the intellectual and conceptual influences that shaped architecture and the influence of mathematical logic and the philosophy of language on the formation processes. The research also presented an inductive critical vision of contemporary architecture based on monitoring and studying the intellectual and philosophical influences that influenced the formation of the intellectual and material propositions of contemporary architecture. The paper also sought to monitor and identify the architectural trends that resulted from the change in conceptual vision by monitoring and analyzing changes in form and concept in contemporary architecture. | ||
