Structuralism is an intellectual activity or a way of thinking that aims to reconstruct meaningless elements in order to create a semblance or simulacrum that signifies meanings and has a new identity which differs from the composed elements.
So designing an architectural college where the building will be able to reconstruct meanings and signify its identity using the unity of truth and the truth about architecture by understanding the meaning and the truth architecture is sending us. Transforming architecture into a structured text, using the linguistics field, as linguistics was always a reference to architecture will be through highscholarisicm techniques, where they were the first who established the unity of truth by division and subdivision in writing using the notion of clarification and elucidation. And since a language acts as a system where the value of each element depends on the simultaneous co-existence of all the others then the small parts of the building in the architectural field depends on the co-existence of the bold structure that has meaning and a hidden message to the reader and the user of the building to form a new system, Also any spoken language is a self-sufficient system with sets of rules that determines what massages are available; accordingly language acts like a code, and since any written text has a hidden message and that is the deep structure of the text we need to read in order to generatively transform it from superficial structure to deep structure, therefore by reading the three elements of the building: steel structure, architectural masses, special configuration it will give birth to the truthful system of the building itself and that is the existing grid found in the site and the truth of architecture where the building will act as a written text that will enable the user to read the whole system as one piece then analyze it into parts to build the true system and decode the hidden message, therefore by exposing the structure of the collage will not only identify he truth rather than attempting to demonstrate how statement about any text subbert their own meaning.
 
 Similarly to the gothic cathedrals that had unambiguous zonal distribution of spaces that clarified the idea of architecture my building will produce architecture with its hierarchy of functional needs which provided the best opportunity for clear articulation, and since Gothic cathedrals represented the universe in microcosm and each architectural concept, including the loftiness and huge dimensions of the structure were intended to convey a theological message where the building becomes a microcosm, therefore the mathematical and geometrical nature of the construction becomes an image of the orderly universe in which underlying rationality and logic can be perceived. It also gives a feeling of tension and energy sustained by the vigorous repetition of elements both within and without, thus giving birth to a machine aesthetic in this dominating time where the factory became an increasingly iconic and formidable frame of reference where the external expression of the structure induces a sense of dynamism and vitality widely accepted as a characteristics of the 20th century life.
