In this volume, Gabriel Zuchtriegel revisits the idea of Doric
architecture as the paradigm of architectural and artistic
evolutionism. Bringing together old and new archaeological data,
some for the first time, he posits that Doric architecture has
little to do with a wood-to-stone evolution. Rather, he argues, it
originated in tandem with a disruptive shift in urbanism, land use,
and colonization in Archaic Greece. Zuchtriegel presents momentous
architectural change as part of a broader transformation that
involved religion, politics, economics, and philosophy. As Greek
elites colonized, explored, and mapped the Mediterranean, they
sought a new home for the gods in the changing landscapes of the
sixth-century BC Greek world. Doric architecture provided an answer
to this challenge, as becomes evident from parallel developments in
architecture, art, land division, urban planning, athletics,
warfare, and cosmology. Building on recent developments in
geography, gender, and postcolonial studies, this volume offers a
radically new interpretation of architecture and society in Archaic
Greece.
