Time, History and Architecture presents a series of essays on
critical historiography, each addressing a different topic, to
elucidate the importance of two influential figures Walter Benjamin
and Gottfried Semper for architectural history. In a work exploring
themes such as time, autonomy and periodization, author Gevork
Hartoonian unpacks the formation of architectural history; the
problem of autonomy in criticism and the historiographic narrative.
Considering the scope of criticism informing the contemporaneity of
architecture, the book explores the concept of nonsimultaneity, and
introduces retrospective criticism the agent of critical
historiography. An engaging thematic dialogue for academics and
upper-level graduate students interested in architectural history
and theory, this book aims to deconstruct the certainties of
historicism and to raise new questions and interpretations from
established critical canons.
