Typology of Pattern Spatial Organization to Finding DNA as Identity in Architecture

An understanding of the repetition of patterns was carried out by Linnaeus as a taxonomist in 1700a by classifying the shape of flowers in plants while Durand categorized buildings according to their function. Then, Aldo Rossi suggests a typology approach for focusing on the similarities, on the universal and enduring such as the permanent character of cities and buildings. the theory of typology could aid understanding of architecture and a city within its historical and socio-cultural context. Identity search is one of the important goals for the future for a good environment. DNA was the identity of every organism. DNA research has developed in various sciences including biology, archeology, forensic science, political science, social science, psychology, geography, environmental science, sports science, and culture. This genetic science appeared in various sciences, as well as developed in the field of architecture. This study used a qualitative method to discuss how repetition and classifying to finding DNA as identity in architecture. the identity of architecture has DNA that was always passed down from one generation to another.
