and expressed the spirit of the time. There
seemed to be a strong creative power in the air.
But
the gods of architecture were dead: only imitative art from old Rome, neo-classicism.
And
from now on during the Romantic time and the whole nineteen century, we see
fairy play with architectural forms. All the styles, antique, Romanesque,
Gothic, Renaissance from here and Renaissance from there, towers, pinnacles,
crenulations, all dancing together in this fairy play. Imitation is fashion o... more ...

day. Instead of dry Scholasticism there comes something new in the mediaeval

basic things in all architecture. Aren’t they good enough?” It is surprising
that they ask this, because nobody asks: “Why all this thinking today? We have
Plato, Aristotle and Kant. Aren’t they good enough?”, or “Why all this
