| description | Originating from the fields of philosophy and history, the term historicism
is often used by architectural historians. Aiming to contribute to the
theoretical framework for the analysis of architectural historicism, the
paper first explores the meaning of the concept in its native field of
philosophy of history. The paper is aligned with the recent scholarship
which interprets historicism as a worldview and deduces three historicist
principles - principles of holism, individuality, and development. This
paper argues that an historicist outlook marked wider creative achievements
of an epoch, and that architecture of the period approximately ranging from
the 1750s to the 1950s did not evade its influence. Finally, the paper
illustrates the three principles in the idea of building for the age which
haunted architects of the Western civilisation for almost two centuries. |
