City architecture as way of construction and deconstruction of social practices in the city

Abstract

In this article urban architecture, acting as a «natural physical borders of mankind», creates a certain discourse of social practices that construct and define reality, forming views and values. Moreover, that discourse can be deconstructed and problematized through representation of the urban architecture, which provides an opportunity to explore different ways of forming those social practices among citizens.

Thus, the main idea of this study is to examine the way in which social practices could be seen as a reflection of citizen’s actions, which, on the one hand, are set up by the urban construction as an objective structure and, on the other hand, modal behavior which are formed by the influence of a certain structure of thought and ideas.

To implement the objectives of the study, we use the discourse analysis as a method of analyzing the meanings through which an attempt of deconstruction of practices of urban life is made, the analysis of themes which are brought up to reveal the featured characteristics and values of urban architecture and ways of its coding.
