Architecture is about the many, the composition of a collective. Architecture starts when a plurality, more than two, are interrelated. Architecture is the physical constitution, the attempt of a translation, and at best a projection of a collective. Regimes of content articulate architectural features according to their specific will and spirit of the times. But always, architecture deals with the arrangement and joining of figures. The basic scheme of the disciplinary nature remains the same. But what is the nature of joining and arranging? What specific methods are used in the discipline of architecture? In order to show my work clearly, I will narrow down the discussed topic to the work of the art critic, architect, urbanist, teacher and curator Karl Ludwig Hilberseimer. I will clarify my question in such a way that I want to discuss: What does Ludwig Hilberseimer under architectural order? What is the relationship of his architectural elements to each other? What is the relationship between the individual house and its arrangement in a settlement, in the work of Hilberseimer?
I will mereologically consider the work of Ludwig Hilberseimer's, that is, in the resonance of the determining part of his project. I will come to the conclusion that Ludwig Hilberseimer developed a design method, which describes the parthood relations of house and settlement circularly rather than hierarchical. The description of a settlement as a whole as part of the part as a whole provides a new urban definition of ground as figurative composition. A settlement as a compositional intervention is designed with specific architectural elements. The design of the house depends on its projection as Many, the settlement. This is the punctualisation as architectural method.
