Approaching error’s production: how the error in the epistemology is linked to architecture

Abstract

In everyday life, errors are not only acknowledged, but they also expose us to new situations. In the field of philosophy of science, errors have been viewed as an important factor for determining and reviewing the definition of science itself. This article proposes that: through Victor Brochard´s solution of "the philosophical problem of error" and through some key aspects in epistemology, we will be able to determine that architectural "errors" can provide us with reflective and productive insights in architecture.
