Theoretical architectural writings pioneered by Vitruvius transformed into the autonomous discipline known as architectural aesthetics in the seventeenth century. The well-known architectural historian Masiero discusses the act of building and building, which cannot be kept separate in the history of human civilization, within the framework of this understanding. It delicately analyzes the concept of architecture, which the technical mind defines as command aesthetics, in a spectrum ranging from being a vital need based on functionality to being an "architectonic" object of usefulness and beauty. A history of aesthetics that connects a symbolic universe of referents from the canonical architectural concepts of the West to the pioneering and daring character of contemporary buildings, in a reading practice that transforms the basic elements of buildings.
