520 3 _aWhat is Architectural History? considers the questions and problems posed by architectural historians since the discipline's emergence in the late nineteenth century. How do historians of architecture organize past time and relate it to the present? How does historical evidence translate into historical narrative? Should architectural history be useful for practicing architects? If so, how? Leach treats the disciplinarity of architectural history as an open question, moving between three key claims upon historical knowledge of architecture: within art history, as a historical specialization and, most prominently, within architecture. He suggests that the confusions around the question posed in his title have been productive, ensuring a rich variety of approaches to the project of exploring architecture historically.
