Features: This book focuses on the theme of historicism, analyzing the historicist tendencies in architecture from the late 18th to the late 20th century. The articles divide historicist architecture into two stages—“historicism before modern architecture” and “historicism after modern architecture”—using “modern architecture” as a dividing line. It systematically elaborates on the “classical revival,” “radical historicism,” and “conservative historicism” that emerged in these two stages. Finally, it examines the relationship between the “European-style” phenomenon in contemporary Chinese architecture and historicism, analyzing its fundamental causes from multiple perspectives and classifying them for summary.
