Rather than subscribing to a single position; this collection informs the reader about the current state of the discipline looking at changes across the broad field of methodological; theoretical and geographical plurality. Divided into three sections; Rethinking Architectural Historiography begins by renegotiating foundational and contemporary boundaries of architectural history in relation to other fields; such as art history and archaeology. It then goes on to critically engage with past and present histories; disclosing assumptions; biases and absences in architectural historiography. It concludes by exploring the possibilities provided by new perspectives; reframing the discipline in the light of new parameters and problematics.This timely and illustrated title reflects upon the current changes in historiographical practice; exploring potential openings that may contribute further transformation of the disciplines and theories on architectural historiography and addresses the current question of the disciplinary particularity of architectural history.
