International Conference on Architectural Quality

Defining Architectural Quality
Oct. 8-9, 15-16
14:00-18:00 Central European Time

What defines architectural quality? Is it based on physical facts? Do
the architect's intentions and ideas provide the keys to the building's
evaluation? Is it a matter of cultural context? Does it lie in the eye of
the beholder? Or is it a combination of all of these?

How do architects, critics or historians define architectural quality?
Are there any general methods and theories of architectural quality?
Do we need these at all?

Following the International Conference on Architectural Criticism of
October 2021, this conference presents papers that offer definitions of
architectural quality.
