Beginning from the rise of modern history in the eighteenth
century, this book examines how changing ideas in the discipline of
history itself has affected architecture from the beginning of
modernity up to the present day. It reflects upon history in order
to encourage and assist the reader in finding well-founded
principles for architectural design. This is not simply another
history of architecture, nor a 'history of histories'. Setting
buildings in their contemporaneous ideas about history, it spans
from Fischer von Erlach to Venturi and Rossi, and beyond to
architects working in the fallout from both the Modern Movement -
Aalto, Louis Kahn, Aldo van Eyck - and Post-modernism - such as
Rafael Moneo and Peter Zumthor. It shows how Soane, Schinkel and
Stirling, amongst others, made a meaningful use of history and
contrasts this with how a misreading of Hegel has led to an abuse
of history and an uncritical flight to the future. This is not an
armchair history but a lively discussion of our place between past
and future that promotes thinking for making.
