Those questions are solid in opposition to choice concepts of authorship that, in flip, reposition the historical past of structure. Featured essays check out the separation among the private and the authored whilst different contributions disclose which means, symbolism, and iconography as the themes of authority―no longer authorship. In the long run, this guide dismantles, realigns, and reassembles disparate architectural stipulations to shape new techniques of considering.
