Reception again, or against reception? On the role of the circulation of images and architectural design: Ancient Near Eastern monumental urban landscapes between modernity and reconstruction

It is often assumed that Mesopotamian architectural forms have had a deep impact on the urban development plans for contemporary cities like New York in the 1920s as well as on modern visual and architectural culture in the West. How much of this alleged impact is in reality based on “reconstructed”...

description It is often assumed that Mesopotamian architectural forms have had a deep impact on the urban development plans for contemporary cities like New York in the 1920s as well as on modern visual and architectural culture in the West. How much of this alleged impact is in reality based on “reconstructed” or “imagined” ancient architectural forms? And how much of these monuments “reconstructed” on paper by archaeologists and architects was in reality influenced by their own knowledge of modern and contemporary architecture and urban development? This article explores if and how twentieth-century architecture was influenced by the drawings of the pioneers of archaeology and, inversely, how much twentieth-century architecture affected these archaeological drawings and their influence on the academic interpretation of ancient Mesopotamian architecture.
