Architectural genealogy is defined through the
development and evolution of buildings. All of the biological sciences unite
under Darwin’s theory of evolution. Something similar could unify the
disciplines, professions, and trades with buildings. They could become like
biology, one organic body of know- ledge and inquiry.
Architectural genes are instruction manuals for
buildings, showing how to make and operate every aspect of the appearance of
buildings. A trait is a notable feature or quality of a building. Traits are
passed from generation to generation.
The aim in applying architectural heredity to
alter buildings is to combine the past atmosphere, history, and original
energy, which can be lost in the process of evolution. The traces of the energy
and elegance of the past in evolved building is literally and metapho-rically
an instrument of interpretation.
