This book allows the reader to explore the relationship between the international currency of ‘antiquity’ and indigenous traditions of aesthetic philosophy and architectural design. The importance of this and the changing relationship between text and image is also considered, thereby raising questions about the relationship between the mass-produced image and the original, in an era before Walter Benjamin’s age of mechanical reproduction.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTracing Architecture\u003c\/i\u003e is a fascinating study of the relationship between architecture, antiquity and aesthetics in a European context.
