Description

Explore the complex history and evolving meaning of the word primitive in the field of architecture. This edited collection from Routledge examines how the term has served as a foundation for architectural myths regarding origins in the West. Since the influential 1970s conference on the Primitive, the term has faced scrutiny due to the rise of post-modernism and post-colonialism. While the word has lost favor in many academic disciplines, architects frequently use it to mythologize and define the practice of simplicity. This book tracks the rise, fall, and potential future of this fundamental concept. It provides a deep look at how the concept of the primitive continues to shape architectural thought and practice today.
