the real world.
LIMITATIONS
• Since some standards may not be acceptable
ones in the future as ethics & morals are
constructed over time with collective
experiences of every masses. Every subsequent
architectural style is born out of a response to
the prevailing architectural style. (Post-
Modernism for Modernism, Deconstuctivism for
Post-Modernism architecture). Alternatively, the
society changes over time giving way to a new
philosophy to be held by.

• Some theories/examples may seem to e

overthought.
• The topic also deals with the qualitative aspect
of space and thus the quality holds different
interpretation for different individuals.
