Architecture In The Age Of Printing: Orality, Writing, Typography, And Printed Images In The History Of Architectural Theory presents a compelling academic analysis of how the advent of printing fundamentally reshaped architectural discourse. This scholarly work chronicles the profound shift from oral traditions to written and visually reproducible forms, illustrating the transformative impact of typography and printed images on the dissemination and understanding of architectural ideas. Mario Carpo argues persuasively that these technological advancements were not mere tools but active agents in the evolution of architectural theory itself. The text details the intricate relationship between media and architectural thought, offering a rigorous examination of a pivotal period in intellectual history.
