    Semiology And The Urban

    By
    Roland Barthes

    ISSUES ADDRESSED

    Converging semiology & urban thinking.


    Contradiction's between function &
    meaning of building.

    THEORIES PROPOSED

    1) No more lexicons
    (Dynamic contextualize rather than
    traditional semantic dimension)

    THEORIES PROPOSED

    2) All of us are readers of the city.


    (Self preception)

    THEORIES PROPOSED

    3) The city is erotic.


    (Sociality of the city)

    CASE STUDY

    Eiffel Tower
    by
    Stephen Sauvestre

    EIFFEL TOWER, PARIS.

    FUNCTION
    Past>telecommunication Tower
    Now>landmark Of The City
    -Contradiction In Meaning And Function

    CONCLUSION
    DISTINCTION HAS TO BE MADE BETWEEN THE
    PARADIGMATIC NATURE AND THE TRADITIONAL
    SEMANTIC DIMENSIONS OF THE SYMBOL.
    CITY SHOULD PERCEPT BY OUR OWN,
    INVESTIGATIONS CAN BE MADE ON MICRO SCALE OF
    EVERYDAY FUNCTIONING OF CITY FOLLOWING BY
    FRAMING THE DEEP INVESTIGATIONS ON MACRO LEVEL.
    STUDIES OF URBAN SHOULD BE MULTI LAYER THINKING.
