History of architecture |
| this book must be read with Modern Architecture by Oxford in order to understand the history of architecture. This book covers the must needed areas of the field including, the hut to Palladio, and others up until the rise of modernism, where incidently the book Modern Architecture takes over. I recommend this book in concordance to that book and for the architecture student whether for class or not. |

'epistemology' |
| Bergdoll's book is by far the best book available in bookstores. (I mean among recent theoretical books in architecture section.) He guides us epistemologically to the roots of Enlightenment Architecture. It's not a chronological ordering of historical events. Rather, Bergdoll rigorously endeavors to seek the underlying influences and principles that have formalized such enterprise. As Mark Wigley once mentioned in his article 'The Translation of Architecture.', Bergdoll is a great translator of interpreting the presence (original works) in representational form. In so doing (=translating), Bergdoll perfects and enlivens the presence, which otherwise would have been fossilized. |
