摘要

This paper examines the intersection of ratiocinatio, concinnitas, form/type in architectural theory and practice, focusing on their capacity to reconcile client-specific preferences with logical architectural principles. Drawing from Vitruvius’ De Architectura and Alberti’s De re aedificatoria, it traces the intellectual foundations of architectural logic and rationale, exploring their implications for contemporary design. Through case studies and critical analysis, the research highlights the role of logical frameworks (ratiocinatio, concinnitas, and form/type) in producing coherent, contextually resonant design. The findings underscore the enduring relevance of these classical concepts while advocating for their evolution to accommodate modern demands for adaptability, sustainability, and systemic logic. By situating these principles within a practice of architecture, the paper articulates a vision for architecture that balances individual creativity with collective cultural and functional imperatives.
