ABSTRACT
The mid-thirteenth-century castle of Arsur was built with towers, defensive walls, moat and battlemented gates, fine decorated halls and cellars. “Architectural language” is a broad term reflecting a controlled effort to produce a structure that proclaims place, landscape, space and identity while also uniting function and purpose. The architect begins with a design concept and chooses the ways by which to execute a program that responds both to context and environment and to the patron’s demands. “Architectural language” is a broad term reflecting a controlled effort to produce a structure that proclaims place, landscape, space and identity while also uniting function and purpose.
