- Architecture, Travellers and Writers is a major contribution to the study of the relationship between language and perception in the field of architectural history. It has broken new ground both in combining the old art-historical quest for constructing a history of perception with the history of description, as well as by adopting a method of episodic historiography making it possible to work within a period spanning three centuries. Its conclusions, that architecture can only be understood through the ways it is perceived (and then described) is of relevance to a wide range of scholars from the humanities and social sciences.
