WHY DO WE STUDY HISTORY of ARCHITECTURE ?
Architectural history is the discipline that records, studies and interprets architecture. It studies its forms, purposes, and most importantly its EVOLUTION. Studying architectural history enables us to understand the society and culture they represent AND THEIR INFLUENCE, which is very useful when working as a contemporary architect. So, It teaches us to understand how and why each era since the beginning of time formed its own unique style.
The ''why'' is what really must be understood in order to produce the kind of a architecture our contemporary society needs because architectural should reflect the philosophies prevalent at any given time. For example, FORTS were built with not only defense in mind, but also to allow civilians and livestock to come inside during a time of war;
whereas GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE was designed in order to inspire awe in the minds of the congregation every time anyone saw them. This awe lingers with us even today.
The study of architectural history can also be a good way to inspire modern day architects into trying new forms of design.
SO, Which qualities abstracted from tradition will best meet the forms suggested inherently by new materials and construction technology ? What are the mistakes architects made because they did not research the history of style and mechanics already used in other projects?
However, architectural history, like any other form of historical study, is subject to the limitations and subjectivity of history as a discipline.
Concept of space and space-making, the behavioral patterns, impressions people have about scale, grandeur and perception of built form - all these have been shaped by history and have a direct bearing on the architectural design of the present.
But by far the most important aspect of history is the responses to the issues to ecology & sustainability in the architecture of the past and the reverence shown towards the gifts of the nature by all the ancient civilizations of the world
