Abstract

The broader concept of spontaneous architecture entered into professional discourse in the 1 9 70S and became closely related to the post-modem trends of the age through its philosophical background. Bemard Rudofsky and Christopher Alexander, recognized as outstanding figures of the theory’s international forum, stand up for the legitimacy of lay architecture in their emblematic works stressing that architecture is an essentially structural formula, and as such the vein absolutism of form creation is against its very essence. Rudofsky presents the nameless branch of architectural history analyzing the impressive products created without any contribution by architects. Alexander goes as far as denying the artistic character of architecture, calls per excellence architectural formation unnecessary, moreover, downright harmful in respect to numerous instances of space creation.
