If one sets aside the emergence of new building typologies, architectural “styles”, the use of new materials like steel and reinforced concrete, and the changes in built form which these materials brought up, one notices that the critical thinking procedure is still very similar. If the final product of an eighteenth century architectural thought is physically embodied in, for example, an Italian palazzo, a quite similar procedure is still employed two hundred years later in the design of a Modernist housing scheme.
If in the analysis of the relatively recent history and theoretical development of architecture one had to exclude the last twenty-five years, one would be immediately struck by a “partial” lack of a distinct and evident evolution of new design methodologies.
