Abstract
Architectural textbooks typically present hermeneutics as an interpretative relationship to creativity or authorship related to ‘meaning of architecture’ rather than to meaning in and of itself, which this paper argues hermeneutics is best understood to be. Several rather useful outcomes become available to architects if they take up the description of hermeneutics offered in this paper and there would be substantial support for the claim that the architectural building is an experiment in society as such because no building is an island but belongs to a life world. The objects we work upon, buildings, form part of the life world, the duration of experience for people other than just its owners and occupants so that we need to have a way of widening the political aspects of architecture to include the lives of those who are not included except through an understanding of human consciousness.
