From the publisher

The eighteenth century struggled to define architecture as either an art or a science--the image of the architect as a grand figure who synthesizes all other disciplines within a single master plan emerged from this discourse . Immanuel Kant and Johann Wolfgang Goethe described the architect as their equal, a genius with godlike creativity.
