Abstract

The paper discusses the concept of building type in built environment studies. Its objective is to identify which is the original sense of the term and how it can be revisited today according to recent researches' ideas. It is argued that the concept of type - used by Quatremère de Quincy in 1825 - presents a wider theoretical and conceptual complexity than that used to be given by the Italian authors of morphology of the 20th century and that, essentially, it is a concept closer to a social interpretation of space. Finally, it is proposed that the term must be understood from a contemporary point of view, beyond a mere a design method or a descriptive model: comprehending the ideas behind the concept of type seen as a contribution for scientific knowledge on built environment.
