Abstract

In the paper the author tries to present criticality (as a critical architecture and critical theory) as a dominant answer to the contemporary situation of world architecture. The paper follows origin of criticality to discover or to unclose possible limits hidden in the notion of criticality in architecture.

The paper also examines if it is possible to maintain the critical edge of criticality in architecture (to various problem in today architecture) but without the supporting scaffolding of the critical theory. As a solution, the text presents ethics of heritage as proposed by prof.

Jan Sokol.
