Description

Explore the origins of architectural writing with Narrating the Globe: The Emergence of World Histories of Architecture from MIT Press. This work examines how nineteenth-century historians developed the grand history genre and how their perspectives shaped the modern discipline. By analyzing notions of progress, beauty, and cultural superiority, this book reveals how early architectural narratives often maintained a Eurocentric worldview. It looks at the ways these writers dismissed non-Western architecture through specific historical and stylistic lenses. Even as these historians attempted to build an exclusive architectural canon, their work was part of a constant debate regarding global structures and history. This book provides a deep look into the nineteenth-century foundations of architectural study, making it a significant resource for those interested in the history of the discipline and the evolution of how we document the built environment across the globe.
