Hvattum focuses on Semper's two major concerns: an understanding of the ontological significance of art and architecture, and the rendering of art and architecture as the objects of scientific investigation and prediction. Hvattum investigates the background and implications of these conflicting concerns. By examining the historicist fusion of Romanticism and Positivism, the book seeks to understand the nature as well as the limits of the modern dream of a 'method of inventing'. More than an intellectual biography, Gottfried Semper and the Problem of Historicism explores historicism and its implications for modern architectural discourse and practice. 517 3 $aGottfried Semper & the Problem of Historicism 606 $aHistoricism in architecture 606 $aHistoricism 615 0$aHistoricism in architecture. 615 0$aHistoricism. 676 $a720/.92 700 $aHvattum$b Mari$f1966-$0905129 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784401903321 996 $aGottfried Semper and the problem of historicism$93691816 997 $aUNINA
