About
"Die Moderne ist keineswegs geschichtslos. Wie Jörg Gleiter zeigt, gilt dies insbesondere für ihre Avantgarden. Nach dem Bruch mit dem unmittelbar Vergangenen und Veralteten - dem 19. Jahrhundert - dient die radikale Rekonzeptualisierung der Architektur nichts Geringerem als der Suche nach dem Ältesten und Vorvergangenen, nach der Urgeschichte, an die anzuknüpfen ihr nur im offenen Erwartungshorizont ihrer innovativen Gegenwartspraxis gelingen kann"--Back cover. Modernity is not without history. As Jörg Gleiter shows, this is particularly true for its avant-gardists. After the break with the immediate past and what is outdated - essentially the 19th Century - a radical re-conceptualization of architecture is nothing less than the search for what is oldest, for what is historically ancient, upon which to build success in the open horizon of expectations of innovative contemporary practice alone may be obtained.
