Economy can be considered as the transversal component of the human activities
over territories. This fact can be observed from a diachronic perspective: the way
how architectural typologies arose through history. But the relations between
Economy and Architecture are not only established by the small scales but the
larger ones. Cities and territories evolved from compact forms till spread ones in a
parallel way to the arousal of the shopping areas. Urban sprawl could never be
understood without these new typologies. The paper is based on the key note speech
was held in the International seminar “Economy today” last September 2017 in
Andrićgrad (Bosnia and Herzegovina). It is divided in two blocks: the first one
relates to a general review of the historical reflections of this relation with a special
mention to the consequences of an economic crisis either in the landscape or urban
scales. The second part, partially included in the conclusions, reflects on the
necessary changes in the university curriculums for a better visualization of this
relation. It would imply new attitudes able to explain most of the architectural
processes as the formal result of a larger interaction.
