Architecture theory is closely related to aesthetics as it deals with the principles and concepts underlying the visual and spatial aspects of architecture. Aesthetics in architecture is concerned with the sensory experience of a built environment, including its form, materiality, symmetry, proportion, and color. Architecture theory provides a framework for understanding and analyzing the aesthetic qualities of buildings, while aesthetics helps architects to create visually appealing designs that are both functional and meaningful. Together, architecture theory and aesthetics contribute to the development of architectural styles, movements, and trends.
