| Abstract | ||
| This research explores the relationship between genetics and architecture, utilising interdisciplinary knowledge to develop a mechanism for interpreting architectural texts. It highlights the inherited architectural features transmitted across generations through architectural "genes." The study addresses the lack of an integrated method for reading architectural texts based on experimentation and proximity. To navigate this issue, the research adopts the hypothesis that "architectural form resembles a language text that can be quoted and interpreted." A review of relevant studies helped establish key governing values, which were applied using the Delphi method to analyze architectural texts and interpret four-reader responses. The research ultimately aims to develop a systematic approach for decoding architectural texts through the Eugene Pools framework. This involves three key steps: first, isolating the architectural text to identify its genetic availability; second, determining the type of genetic code embedded in the design; and third, analyzing its genetic properties—whether transmitted, acquired, or sequestered. Through this structured methodology, the study seeks to provide a comprehensive framework for understanding the genetic dimensions of architectural expression. | ||
