Analyzing the Concept of Tectonic Structuralism in Architecture and its Role in Construction Science and Art

Today, there has been a divergence in the relationship between construction, structure and architecture, and due to the growth of science, technology and specialization, a deep-rooted divergence has occurred between these fields. Tectonics in architecture is a long-standing concept that has preserved its meaning from ancient history to the digital age and can create a coherent and meaningful framework for the relationship between architecture and construction. When the structural concept of the work takes an operational form through construction, the visual result of this aspect of the overall concept of the work comes to the fore through expressive qualities that clearly deal with the play of forces, but this quality cannot be described with the word "building" nor with the word "structure", because these qualities express the relationship between form and force, in fact, the strength and beauty factor will be created from the harmony of structure and architecture in an architectural work. Tectonics or tectonism in architecture is defined as "the science or art of construction, both in relation to use and artistic design." It refers not only to "the activity of materially building the required; a construction that responds to certain needs, but also to the activity that enhances this structure into an artistic form." It deals with material modeling to bring material into presence: from the physical world to the metaphysical world. In this article, the concept of tectonics or tectonism in architecture: from the design of clothing and jewelry models to innovation in digital manufacturing as drivers of style, from engineering to style and tectonic expression is discussed.
