Abstract

When I was asked to write an essay on recent architectural history, the range of coverage was left open. None of the other contributors to this series had written on architecture in more than a passing way, leaving me the choice of doing anything from my own specialization to the field as a whole. I have opted for the latter extreme, and thus my essay will not be like the others, which have been for the most part true “state-of-research” analyses written by specialists and restricted to single fields, often of quite narrow focus. My comments will be far more selective and exploratory, with extreme contractions and expansions of discussion de-pending on the subject and my knowledge of it and my sense of its relevance to this essay. I will often be skating on thin ice.
