This book looks at architecture history in reverse, in order to
follow chains of precedents back through time to see how ideas
alter the course of civilization in general and the discipline of
architecture in particular. Part I begins with present-day
attitudes about architecture and traces them back to seminal ideas
from the beginning of the twentieth century. Part II examines how
pre-twentieth-century societies designed and understood
architecture, how they strove to create communal physical
languages, and how their disagreements set the stage for our
information age practices. Architecture History and Theory in
Reverse includes 45 black-and-white images and will be useful to
students of architecture and literature.
