| dc.description | The first idea was to call this book The Roots of Modern Architecture. The title The Emergence of Modern Architecture came after. The shift was not casual or arbitrary. The choice had to do with characterising the nature of change of mind, the structure of the conceptual revolution we have been studying. ‘Roots’ and ‘emergence’ have many things in common. They both entail a passage. They both imply direction, movement and possibly progress. But there are also significant differences. ‘Roots’ call to mind a well-articulated object that can be depicted in terms of its shape and structure. ‘Emergence’ suggests a dynamic process hard to describe in such static terms. The historical change that this book covers was not an unbroken, incrementally growing trunk of wellarticulated events. It was a complex process of parallel, interacting events with ruptures, stopgaps, reversals and leaps. ‘Emergence’ was more appropriate to characterise it. | en_US |
