Architectural history
"The future needs origins". This thought of the philosopher Odo Marquard also shapes the examination of architecture, which reflects social ideals and the dialectic of tradition and modernity. Architectural history is the historical perspective with which we view our built environment: Form, function, materiality of buildings, urban planning concepts, social contexts and the treatment of the built heritage.
