Refiguring the antique

Author:Desrochers, B

Article Title:Refiguring the antique

Abstract:
The article addresses the relationship between architecture and time. It engages contemporary reflections about weathering, durability and ephemerality and it considers whether this line of research could not open towards new ways of picturing history. It presents an overview of interpretations of Ancient precedent from the late Antiquity to the present, and it sketches the possibility of a new, material-based and environmentally-conscious refiguration of the Antique.
