In-depth knowledge of the history and theory of architecture is a vital element in the education of aspiring architects. As such, it represents a key step in forging and putting into practice a true critical spirit. In terms of research, studies and publications on contemporary architecture are accompanied by the systematic production of books and articles on past architecture and the protagonists of modern architecture.
