ARCHTHEO 2014 - Theory of Architecture Symposium

The first of the theory of architecture conference series ARCHTHEO has been held in 2011 at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University focusing on the possibility of the theory without the backing of the practice or built environment. The title was, therefore, "Theory for the Sake of the Theory" in an emphatic fashion. In 2012, the discussion centered on the Living and space, the main has been chosen as "House&Home' in particular. Last year's event focused on the two leading roles in architecture, the architect and the so-called 'user' and 'Creativity, Autonomy and Function' has proved to be fruitful discussion theme.
Since 2011, a total of 245 presentations by scholars from different places of the world has been hosted by ARCHTHEO Conferences and three proceedings and a book of selected papers has been published.
