The suggested key words do not constitute a finished list. They try to display different criteria on some fields that are often related to the historical research. Furthermore, within the inevitable discipline of alphabetical order, key words are shown which relate to space and composition (situations, relations, geometries, concepts derived from the theory of perception), along with building programs or their typology, and then also with the construction field (elements and materials) along with the historical or critical discourse.
