    The document summarizes semiotics as it relates to architecture. It discusses how usage of objects like raincoats take on symbolic meaning within society. The purpose of semiotics in architecture is to understand the symbiosis between culture and symbolism and how symbols can impact society. Issues addressed are the lack of understanding between signs and meanings, and the absence of culture and experience in building design. Design methods proposed include considering relativity of time, integrating societal signs and meanings, and incorporating art and culture together in architectural semiotics.

    Synopsis 4 : Semiotics

    Group Members: Zulqarnain Young Yusra Badi Nkya Najath Hameed Izzat Hassan

    This semantization is inevitable; as soon as there is a society, every usage is converted into a sign of itself; the use of raincoat is to give protection from the rain, but this cannot be disassociated from the very signs of an atmospheric situation. Or to be more exact, the use of a raincoat can be dissociated from the very signs of an atmospheric situation.
    Charles Jenks ( Semiology & Architecture) 1969

    The symbiosis of culture and symbolism in architecture. To generate the understanding of a symbol/sign that could produce the impact to the society.
