Brief Description about Structuralism:
Structuralism in a general sense is a mode of thought of the 20th century,
which originated in linguistics. Other disciplines like anthropology,
psychology, economy, philosophy and also art took on structuralist ideas and
developed them further. An important role in the development of structuralism
played Russian Formalism also the School of Prague. Roland Barthes a key
figure of structuralist thought, argued that there was no complete structuralist
philosophy but only a structuralist method.

4. History/Background:
Principle:Structuralism holds that, according to the human way of understanding
things, particular elements have no absolute meaning or value: their meaning or
value is relative to other elements. Everything makes sense only in relation to
something else. An element cannot be perceived by itself.
What was structuralism influenced by-
Structuralism was predominately influenced by the schools of phenomenology
and of Gestalt psychology, both of which were fostered in Germany between
1910 and the 1930s. Phenomenology was a school of philosophical thought that
attempted to give philosophy a rational, scientific basis.
First artist of structuralism:
The origins of structuralism are connected with the work of Fardinand de
sassure on linguistics along with the linguistics of the Prague and Moscow
schools.

most significant works of
architecture of recent times. It is
