Architecture’s difference, its separateness from other design disciplines, is assumed to be obvious. Matters of scale, complexity and dependency set architecture apart from other design disciplines. This apparent difference is reflected in various disciplinary and professional manifestations, not least the relationship between architectural history and design history. The study of architecture – defined as buildings, architects and the built environment – has been set apart from the study of other forms of design practice or designed objects. While focusing on difference can be a constructive for delineating disciplinary and professional autonomy, what if we look instead at commonality? What if rather than seeking to reinforce the differences between disciplines, we focus instead on the nature of these disciplinary boundaries and look for the places where overlaps, integrations and collaborations occur?

建筑的区别，它与其他设计学科的分离，被认为是显而易见的。规模、复杂性和依赖性问题将架构与其他设计学科区分开来。这种明显的差异体现在各种学科和专业表现上，尤其是建筑史和设计史之间的关系。建筑研究——定义为建筑、建筑师和建筑环境——已与其他形式的设计实践或设计对象的研究区分开来。虽然关注差异对于划定学科和专业自主性具有建设性意义，但如果我们着眼于共性呢？如果不是寻求加强学科之间的差异，
