Archigenetics (also styled Archi-genetics) is an architectural theory that proposes a subconscious link between a population's inherited biological identity and its collective architectural preferences.[1][2]
The theory posits that design choices and aesthetic styles are not solely derived from cultural or environmental influences, but are also a reflection of a shared, innate "biological essence."[3] The theory's central argument is summarized by the phrase "we build what we are",[4] and it draws conceptual parallels with the ancient Arab science of physiognomy (firasa).[1]
Reception
[edit]Since its introduction, the theory has been the subject of discussion and critical analysis on several specialized architectural media platforms, which debate the broader relationship between architecture and identity.[5][1][2][3][6][4]
