An original account of ancient Egyptian and Sumerian architecture
from the acclaimed architectural historian In The Beginnings of
Architecture, Sigfried Giedion examines the architecture of ancient
Egypt and Sumer. These early builders expressed an attitude of
immense force when they confronted their structures with open sky.
Giedion argues that it was during these periods that the problem of
constancy and change flared up with an intensity unknown in any
other period of history, and resolved eventually into the first
architectural space conception, the automatic, psychic recording of
the visual environment.
