Abstract
The pleasure of architecture does not result from the absence of its laws, but rather from breaking them. One must realize that language is not a rigid material like stone. It is a human invention, and therefore it is charged with the cultural heritage of cultural groups, but it is only built through difference... The recent period has witnessed clear changes in thought and the expressive languages that embody it towards building new ways of understanding and communication among humanity. Several philosophical approaches have emerged that focused on the revolution of difference in the structure of their philosophical discourse, including Jürgen Habermars' theory of communicative action. It is based on a new reading of Western social philosophy among its modern poles, because for Habermars, modernity is nothing but the realization of the theory of communicative action. Communicative communication requires a kind of participation in the process of understanding, that is, in transforming understanding into mutual understanding. Pragmatics, on the other hand, uses existing communication systems to market new discourse, thus rendering it outdated. Despite the emergence of diverse architectural expressive languages and their attempts to achieve forms of communication, their approaches have relied on pragmatic formulas, resulting in their dominance or their overreach, leading to a disconnect. The absence of a comprehensive theoretical framework for defining communicative communication as a creative strategy, and its difference from pragmatics and the resulting disconnect, was the primary motivation for this research. The approaches described have not developed clear frameworks, and the description has not been based on comprehensive and objective foundations.
