TEXT IN GERMAN. Tectonics is back on the agenda for contemporary
architectural discussion. Up to now tectonics tended to be
associated with the language of neo-Classical architecture, which
seemed to have faded out because of the triumph of Modernism, but
now the dogmas of Modernism are being questioned, interest is
reviving in architecture using tectonic design principles. So DIE
TEKTONIK DER HELLENEN, Boetticher's main work published in 1844-52,
does not just provide a theory of tectonic form that is still
estimable today, it also contains a theory about the central
problem of the 19th century, that of taking over the stylistic
forms of past epochs.
