"Perspecta 33 : mining autonomy" is a collection of essays that examines the evolving legacy of architectural autonomy and its relationship to architecture's potential to act as a critical agent. As its name implies, "Mining autonomy" both draws from the richness of the intellectual project of autonomy and perhaps does some damage to its suppositions by forwarding the idea that the contemporary position of critical practice has shifted from the autonomous center to the periphery of the architectural discipline.

Summary:
In this classic meditation on the problem of style in art history, the author describes how art forms change over time. Although he argues that the development of art is irreducible to external political, social, or economic determinants, one of his great achievements was to lodge a concept of autonomous formal mutation within the shifting domain of materials and techniques. Focillon emphasizes the presence of nonsynchronous tendencies within styles that give to artworks a manifold and stratified character.
