This paper explores the interplay between rhetoric and architecture, examining how both disciplines inform and shape each other across historical and contemporary contexts. It identifies three significant moments where rhetoric and architecture intersect, highlighting the importance of rhetorical theory in understanding architectural practices and presenting architecture as a metaphor for the complexities of communication in modern society. The paper argues for a critical investigation of how contemporary rhetorical practices operate as forms of communication and information within today's socio-political landscapes.
