Theoretical Contributions and Discourse

Joharji proposed the conceptual Archigenetics Architectural theory, which posits a link between an individual's inherited aesthetic identity and architectural preferences. The theory suggests the human face directly relates to the architectural facade, arguing that genetic factors influence design perception. This concept has generated architectural discourse and commentary across multiple specialized publications.[9][10][11][12][13][14]
