These studies focus in two primary areas. The second area emphasizes the development of theories and methodologies to aid organizational clients in linking organizational goals and purposes to the planning, programming, design and management of buildings.
Potential form is limited and structured by mathematical constraints.
The geometry of the built environment is a central concern of architectural morphology. Architectural morphology also deals with the formal structures that underlie the creation of designs, including architectural styles. Built form functions by making certain aspects of space use and behavior more probable, thus enabling and constraining the social functions of buildings. Modeling the spatial dimensions of behavior and space use, and seeking to identify the principles that govern them, is another central concern of architectural morphology. Finally, architectural morphology seeks to describe how aspects of form engender cultural meaning.
