Abstract


The contemporary architecture focuses on creating of themes of projects since the beginning of the century before having hint points on functional needings and / or aesthetical preoccupations. As Baudrillard referred on his theorem simulacr and simulation that today is the era of seeking to interrogate the relationship among reality, symbols, and society. Thus, most of the subjects that are related with life today are given to us as the piece of a great scenary of "the modern life" by authorities, and moreover than this, today`s life is formulating under the effects of the neo liberal economies.

In the architectural field thus, "the hearth" of the projects are not formulating according to the basic architectural principles and guidelines, but it is focused on searching of the theme of the project which would be the best-seller.

The paper will not only have the crtitical overview to 21st century "architectural fiction" which has a zoom on theme searching of projects, but also will discuss if this formation is a Frankstein or a Snow White story for the history of architecture, out of various given architectural examples from all over the world.
