THE RETURN OF HISTORICISM

on Third Programme

by Nikolaus Pevsner
Professor of the History of Art in the University of London
Professor Pevsner is disturbed at what he calls the undisciplined and anti-rational approach of many architects today; he finds its most unattractive aspect in ' the new Neo-Isms,' especially in this country and Italy. To
. what extent, he asks, are architectural historians such as himself to blame for this departure from the rational and functional principles which seemed, in the 'thirties, so soundly established? Broadcast version of a recent address to the R.I.B.A.
