Description: Summary: Originally developed in linguistics, the structuralist approach has been introduced as a scientific method in anthropology and other human sciences since the 1950s. In the 1960s and 1970s the double category of primary and secondary structure also became a leading ideology in the field of architecture and urban planning.
