Descriptions of descriptions. (Suspended) exercises of written architecture
Since its pre-classical antecedents, the whole history of architectural thought has been characterised by a descriptive literary form. Though not exhaustive in defining the role and cognitive task of the discipline, the description – as an analytical device – is one of the favourite operative tools of architecture and this is true not just nowadays, at the time of storytelling, but has always been so since ancestral times. A long tradition can definitely be traced, whom only recently a name has been given to, perhaps on the wave of that predisposition to self-reflection of architecture on herself, inaugurated with the century of Enlightenment, specified in the Short Twentieth Century and become today way of thinking.
