Hatje Cantz Text
(Nr. 43)
This book demonstrates how architecture can be visually communicated despite historical imprecision. It is the architectural contribution to resolving the dilemma that historical representations, in order to be vivid, are often purely fantastical. The method presented translates archaeological hypotheses from words into images. Thus, the result is scientifically sound, even if it often involves reasoning by analogy. The imprecision is conveyed through the abstraction of the model. Therefore, it is not the built structure, but its idea, that is depicted, and so obviously that as few misunderstandings as possible remain. This changes the perception of lost architecture. Instead of a glorified, romanticized past, it is conveyed as a timeless message.
