HOLISM IN ARCHITECTURE..

HOLISM?WHAT IS THE DEFINITION?WHAT IS THE MEANING IN ARCHITECTURE CONTEXT?

I GOT A TASK FROM MY LECTURE,MR FIRDAUS TO SEARCH AND STUDY ABOUT HOLISM IN ARCHITECTURE,SO,HERE IT IS..(^_^)


The definition of holism is
''The view that the whole is more than its parts. In earlier geographies, the region has been seen as having a distinct identity which does not come entirely from its separate parts. A holist looks at the workings of concepts like ‘culture’ or ‘society’ rather than the workings of individuals.''


In architectural context
''Architecture and industrial design are often seen as enterprises, which constitute a whole, or to put it another way, design is often argued to be an holistic enterprise.In architecture and industrial design holism tends to imply an all-inclusive design perspective, which is often regarded as somewhat exclusive to the two design professions. Holism is often considered as something that sets architects and industrial designers apart from other professions that participate in design projects. This view is supported and advocated by practising designers and design scholars alike, who often argue that architecture and industrial design have a distinct holistic character.''

ACTUALLY EVERYONE,THERE ARE MANY ANSWERS ABOUT WHAT HOLISM IN ARCHITECTURE IS BUT WHAT I WROTE HERE IS THE EASY ANSWERS FOR U TO UNDERSTAND..
