ملخص: In the face of the perceived bareness of theoretical reflection in current architectural thinking, this study set out to reaffirm the function of critical analysis (which, it is claimed, must by necessity be historical) as the major source of theoretical production in architecture. For criticism to be able to perfrom this function, one basic condition has to be filfilled, namely that a distance be re-established between critical language and design language; only then can critical analysis serve as a technique for the unveiling of the mechanisms of nostalgia operating in architectural discourses.
