For the first time, the symposium on the History of Architectural History will attempt to understand and describe the increasing importance of architectural historiography as a European phenomenon on an international level. In this sense, the different understandings of this discipline in several European countries will be examined, also with regard to the reciprocal effects of their respective methodologies. Renowned experts from Italy, Germany, France, Spain, Denmark, Poland, Hungary and Greece will contribute diverse national and supranational perspectives.
The symposium will analyse the genesis and development of architectural historiography within the panorama of historical sciences, especially in relation to the history of art.
