| Abstract |
With meaning and value as the background to modern semiotics, studies of signification and semiosis considers all types of cultural phenomena as a process of communication. In the perspective of semiotic communication, architecture is also thought of as signifiant of a signifie that refers to a particular function through pre-established encoding, which allows a denotation of the building's function and the connotation of the particular ideology behind the function. In other words, the meaning of architecture involves an interpretation of the function as an implicit message, while at the same time, interpreting architecture as an explicit message involving a subjective impression or affect. However, just like langue and parole in linguistics, signifiant and signifie in semiotics, and the contents and expression of R. Jakobson, are inseparable sets that cannot exist alone, like the two-sides of a coin, the denotation and connotation in signification and also the passing of time according to place show the change in meaning or the magnified process through their interactions. In result, because the meaning of architecture cannot be independent from the perception of the individual or from societal values, modern architecture goes beyond the physical properties and through cultural consciousness and memory existing within the architectural object itself, architecture aims to contain the very values communicated by both history and contemporary times. |
