Summary/Abstract: How does an interdisciplinary approach influence the making of an assessment of architecture? How does such an approach clarify the processes against a backdrop of a varied ‘liquid modernity’? A common ground is searched of architectural theory and the fundamental scientific and social-economical evaluation systems, regarded in the light of quantum physics and the philosophy of Heisenberg, Whitehead and Hocking. Parallels are drawn between physical space, time, set, evaluation methods of science and engineering systems. The theory of social studies (Baudrillard, Lumen, Bauman) is compared with architecture as a social system and the changes in the professional manner, consumer’s behaviour, prevalent economic assessment. Multi-directional studies provide ontological knowledge as well as keys to rationalize the complicated manifestations of architecture in the post-industrial society in their full gamut from sensuousness to fluidity to sociality to power-wielding rationality. The study seeks to clarify the philosophical basis of the processes and hence, to generate new ideas of contemporary professional achievements and architectural creativity.
