On the Secondness of Architectural Intuition
The paper presents an adaptation of Charles S. Peirce's three logical categories – firstness, secondness, and thirdness, or quality, relation, and representation – in order to locate architectural intuition in relation to scientific intuition. For Peirce, the father of American pragmatism, the goal of science was to discover thirdnesses (laws and transcendental but refutable patterns) in the manifold of sensory experiences. But he reasoned there also had to be an intermediate category of intuition between sensory and conceptual experiences. Architectural intuition is primarily about relations, or in other words, Peircean secondness.
