Architectural analytics

Template:Unreviewed Architectural Analytics is the field of study that focuses on the discovery and identification of meaningful patterns in Architecture. Architecture being defined as large complex and carefully designed systems; and built form ranging from monuments to settlements and civilisations. Architectural Analytics is the ability to discern a large amount of information from the ability to read architecture. Architecture represents a snapshot in time and can, in a very detailed fashion, animate the civilisation and people that created it.

This ability to inform and present previously unknown facts, makes Architectural Analytics most important in piecing together the larger understanding of civilisations and the human story. Architectural analytics ranges from individual monuments, to settlement analytics, to civilisation analytics. Further to cross civilisation analytics where distinct markers and elements can be compared and contrasted to enrich the connections within civilisations.

Simply put, Architectural analytics is about connecting the dots. Connecting facts and being able to structure a larger - big picture overview of civilisations and the human story. Through a detailed integrated view, architectural analytics holds the potential to detail a more complete idea of the human story. the structure and layout of civilisations too being an architecture in of itself. Thus the word architectural encompasses both the built form of architecture and the layout structure of civilisations.
