Typological Axioms for Architecture

Given a space and a set of entities we investigated spatial implications from the point of view of generative and transformational dynamics (analysis and classification, creativity, indexing and memorization, wayfinding, etc.): we want aim to at improvinge intelligent analysis and classification architecture orientated to complexity. The use of typology and the concept of architectural type, as an abstraction device for analyzing spatial aspects of design processes and outcomes, is a way for coping with problems of complexity in understanding spatial entities and processes (Petruccioli, 2008) Abstraction via typology can be used in architectural design as a preliminary ontological filter for axiomatic routines of standard ontological analyzers: it calls for a specific extension of the set of axioms. Ontological analysis and classification of complex spatial forms and relations raises problems of meaningfulness and completeness of the set of logical axioms usually used in standard ontological devices (Bhatt, 2011).
