- Abstract
Architecture is a multidisciplinary field, with or without intention, architecture absorbs knowledge from other fields of discipline to become a part that enriches itself. If knowledge is centered on signs and meanings, then Eco’s semiotic theory which is based on communication and signification becomes interesting to be verified as a method of transferring concepts/propositions from other disciplines. This research is a theoretical qualitative research with case studies which include: (1) Analysis to examine the relationship between the components of the structure of the Elementary Communication Model as a coding system descriptively for interdisciplinary purposes; (2) Verification of Modes of Sign Production as a concept transfer method through case studies of “The Gherkin Tower” work of Norman Foster and “Church of the Light” work of Tadao Ando. This study concludes that the difference in the scope of each discipline area lies in the continuum, so it is necessary to add a “Converter” component to the Channel component of the Elementary Communicational Model structure, and Modes of Sign of Production as a converter method.
