Even the most inventive and revolutionary architects of today owe
debts to the past, often to the distant past when architecture
really was being invented for the first time. Architects depend on
their own imaginations for personal insights and originality but
their ideas may be stimulated (consciously or subliminally) by
particularly powerful buildings from history. The Ten Most
Influential Buildings in History: Architecture's Archetypes
identifies ten architectural archetypes that have been sources of
inspiration for architects through the centuries. Each archetype is
analysed through distinctive examples, following the methodology
established by the author in his previous books. The variety of
'lines of enquiry' each archetype has provoked in latter-day
architects are then explored by analysing their work to reveal
ideas inspired by those earlier buildings. Archetypes have a
timeless relevance. In adopting this approach, The Ten Most
Influential Buildings in History is as pertinent to contemporary
practice as it is to understanding buildings from antiquity, and
offers insights into the bridges of influence that can operate
between the two.
