Christian Norberg-Schulz’s 1963 work, Intentions in Architecture
The text is a rigorous attempt to provide a scientific and philosophical basis for architectural design that transcends mere utility. Norberg-Schulz sought to dismantle the prevailing notion that architecture was simply a problem-solving exercise in spatial allocation. Instead, he proposed that architecture is a "language" rooted in human existence. This paper argues that Intentions in Architecture serves as the foundational bridge between the rational structuralism of the 1960s and the phenomenology that would define Norberg-Schulz’s later career, fundamentally shifting the discourse from "function" to "meaning." intentions in architecture norberg-schulz pdf
