Abstract
Architecture, to state the obvious, is a social act—social both in method and purpose. It is the outcome of teamwork; and it is there to be made use of by groups of people, groups as small as the family or as large as an entire nation. Architecture is a costly act. It engages specialized talent, appropriate technology, handsome funds. Because it is so, the history of architecture partakes, in a basic way, of the study of the social, economic, and technological systems of human history. (Kostof 1995: 7)
