“…Since at least around the 18th century, a consideration of cycles or phases of development has been a recurring theme in interpretations of historical developments. One influential conceptualisation of this nature tends to be attributed to Johann Joachim Winckelmann (1717-1768) [20,21], and is discussed more in Section 3.5. Winckelmann is generally considered to be one of the earliest authors to develop an interpretation of past art develop-ments within their own cultural and social milieu [22,23].…”

“…Variations of this system have since remained reasonably popular in both art and architecture, possibly because Winckelmann used a mixture of art and architecture, and ancient and contemporary examples, when explaining [101]. Other scholars have already noted that Winckelmann appears to aspire to identify universal patterns when discussing these examples [20,23]. This is normal for the Age of Enlightenment when he was working, as was the nature of casual mixing of the examples in the text and the assumption that the reader shares his view [100], and thus, conveys a level of normalisation of these views.…”

Responding to calls for climate action, this article develops and introduces a Sustainability Transition Framework (STF), which is a high-level interpretation of the complex dynamics dominating the current historical moment characterised by an aspiration for accelerated climate action and challenges with implementing change. This STF brings together and integrates a set of theories about change which were developed in different disciplines and not commonly discussed at the same time. The four key theories are: (1) sustainability transitions, transition management and related theories which consider the necessary change in sociotechnical regimes; (2) diffusion of innovation theory, which provides a high-level overview of patterns with uptake of innovation; (3) a change curve which explains complex emotional experiences when facing organisational change; and (4) a conceptualisation of the style cycle, which is commonly used in the history of art and architecture. These are visually depicted and integrated into a novel STF diagram. The STF presents one of the most comprehensive integrations of currently available knowledge on how change happens, which is essential for accelerated climate action. The STF helps understand individual or social group experiences. Through an improved understanding of the sustainability transition, the STF empowers climate action.

“…This aspect of Winckelmann's work has been used by a range of scholars to explain not only the lasting influence of his ideas, but also his aspiration to identify universal patterns. 12 On these levels, it is appropriate to interpret his developmental stages as explicitly assuming that these patterns are universal, and as such, ready to be applied to any developments, but also that these are deeply grounded in their cultural context. Furthermore, Winckelmann's key stages of the development of art can be seen as similar or reflective of biological growth in general: early, mature, and late stages of development can be seen as reflective of childhood, adulthood and elderhood of an organism.…”

Two Conceptualisations of Change in Architectural History: Towards Driving Pro-sustainable Change in Architecture

At the time when it is important to act on the Climate Emergency and other pro-sustainable efforts, the key question is how to drive change. This paper examines two conceptualisations of change in architectural history in an attempt to support a better understanding of architecture-specific conceptualisations of change itself. Such understanding could offer real value in articulating how to drive pro-sustainable change in architecture. The paper identifies two conceptualisations of change which are easily found in existing writing on change in architectural history. One such conceptualisation considers architectural developments in terms of cyclical styles, or triads of early, high, and decadent stages of development of styles. Attributed to the 18th century writing of Johann Joachim Winckelmann on ancient Greek art, this conceptualisation presents one useful interpretation which links the change with natural growth. A simpler conceptualisation of two-point change is interpreted using the minor/major interpretations of change, as developed by Joan Ockman, based on the work of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. The key proposition is that the selected historical examples of conceptualisation of change reveal useful aspects of the past patterns of change in architecture. These might help understand how to drive needed change now. One critical factor in the transition which is facing us now, is that in contrast to many past transitions which were driven by technological innovation, current transition requires development of technologies capable to support the change which is scientifically proven as needed and real. Therefore, some of the historical natural ease of the past transitions in the current contexts needs active driving of change. Without an intention to propose a holistic new framework, the main value of this paper is that it identifies some of the key conceptualisations which are evident in architectural history and that could be useful in driving pro-sustainable change.

Las destrucciones de estatuas, yacimientos y museos llevadas a cabo por DAESH en Siria e Iraq no deben ser considerados simples actos vandálicos o acciones iconoclastas en base a su interpretación radical y tergiversada del islam, sino que en realidad esconden un discurso complejo que debe entenderse dentro del debate actual sobre la redefinición del patrimonio, particularmente de las estatuas, cuestionadas por representar un pasado colonialista o autocrático que ya no se considera digno de ser conservado y recordado.
