Using key texts by Gottfried Semper, Mari Hvattum offers a reinterpretation of historicism. Hvattum focuses on Semper's two major concerns: an understanding of the ontological significance of art and architecture, and the rendering of art and architecture as the objects of scientific investigation and prediction.
