- In this episode we discussed the idea of 'The Primitive Hut' in 18th and 19th century architectural theory. A vision of the first building was used by texts dating back to Vitruvius to imagine architecture's origins. We started with Marc-Antoine Laugier, author of Essai sur l'architecture (1753), which used the image of the Primitive Hut to call for a return to austere and structurally declarative classicism after the excesses of the baroque. We also discussed the idea of the Primitive Hut in the work of Viollet-le-Duc, who was influenced by ethnographic racism and eugenics in his depiction of the origin of architecture. We strongly recommend Joseph Rykwert's book On Adam's House in Paradise: The Idea of the Primitive Hut in Architectural History for an even more in-depth commentary on this subject.

Joseph Rykwert- ‘The First Moderns’. Superb book.
I love listening to your architectural rambling! Please never stop! I'm also very glad you have video now as well. Its great to be able to see the images!
Thanks!
Another great video guys. Would love to see a video on Villalpando and his reconstruction of the Temple using the classical orders as designed by God.
I'm missing some of what you're saying because you're talking past the mic Luke 😅
