系统论的等级秩序原理认为:被看作一个整体系统的任何事物都是分层次的。当我们把建筑设计看作一个系统,那么这个系统内的诸问题可以简略地分为宏观、中观、微观三个层次。宏观问题即建筑师的世界观,亦即建筑师对自然、社会、人和建筑的认识。其主要内容是:建筑的创作思想,对建筑的时代性、社会性的认识,以及对建筑的功能与形式的关系等问题的认识。这里面有一部分是客观的规律,是所有建筑师都必须遵从的:有一些则是可以因人、因时代而异,众多流派思想共存的。中观问题即建筑设计方法 The theory of hierarchical order of system theory holds that everything considered as a whole system is hierarchical. When we regard architectural design as a system, the problems within the system can be roughly divided into three levels: macro, meso, and micro.
