Overview
Reviews \"The imaginary Orient : exotic buildings of the 18th and 19th centuries in Europe,\" by Stefan Koppelkamm (Axel Menges, 2015). Modern buildings with onion-shaped domes, striped polychromy, and rich filigree in dense geometric patterns, evoking a vaguely delimited \"Orient,\" invariably carried a sense of mystery and wonder when they appeared in European cities, parks, and fairs in the 18th and 19th centuries. Their forms were sometimes related to complex theories of the evolutions of civilizations, golden ages, integration through migration or cultural exchange, all the mainstay of the ideologies behind the historical explanations that underpinned so much of the culture of revivalism in architecture.
