| Sumario: | The historical thought is formed by a group of representations about what happened in the past. Naturally, there are multiple ways of ordering these representations. However, in architectural historiography in particular, classification through styles has played and plays a main role as an organizational method. Classifications are based on the principle that not everything is connected with everything. In other words, some entities are related and some others have no parameter in common between themselves. Hence, architectural historiography is ruled by a codification system that, as Foucault explains ([1966] 2011), relates and isolates, analyzes, adjusts and articulates certain contents.
In this way, styles are a codified way of not only describing, but also appreciating: they order, define and condition our way of approaching buildings. Therefore, this thesis aims to understand which are the consequences of the use of styles as classification in architecture and its history.
This research holds that a series of difficulties unleash as a result of the contradiction resulting from trying to determine what is naturally indefinite. The hypothesis that guides it is that there exists a permanent tension between architecture and its history's indeterminacy and the discipline's attempts to codify them through stylistic classification. This tension usually manifests itself in various ways, condensing in what we will call -with a practical purpose- "symptoms". |
