Structuralism occupies a
place among the twentieth century schools of thought.
It began in linguistics and later, it developed in
anthropology. Then, it reached other fields, such as
architecture and city planning, at a time where
pragmatism were dominant. Structuralists opposed the
dogmatism of these static views of city planning,
which had resulted in lifeless and monotonous spaces
that lacked identity.
They proposed a more flexible vision, which existed
within a structured framework. Inspired by primitive
culture, they discovered the relationship between
social organization and physical structures, and
simultaneously viewed the past and the present.
"Sense of Place", order, elements of
identity, growth and dependence, change and
interaction within a structural form, flexible forms
and identity are some of their most important
principles, which were prominent in the 60s and 70s.
Postmodernist views later responded to modernism's
consequences.
