Journal Article
Can Buildings Quote?
2011
Overview
Can buildings quote other buildings as texts quote other texts? This article provides an account for architectural quotation, relying on Nelson Goodman's notion of quotation as a denotational mode of reference. By considering quotation within the broader context of a theory of symbols, not only verbal quotation is explained, but also nonverbal quotation, such as pictorial, musical, and as is argued here, architectural. The various meanings of quotations in architecture are explained also by drawing upon Goodman's theory of symbols specifically, to allusion as an indirect and complex form of reference.
