architectural agendas - crossed archaeology

Brian asks:
is archaeology the handmaiden, or handyman of architecture?
Steve replies:
As it happens, today, May 3, is the [quondam] feast of the Finding of the Holy Cross, and St. Helena (the recently proclaimed first master architect of Christianity) is the person attributed with having found the Holy Cross--an interesting combination of archaeology and architecture.
Minimalism in Architecture

This might be of interest:
Christian Bonnefoi, "Louis Kahn and Minimalism" in Oppositions 24 (1982).
Hugh Pearman brought up the notion of "New Austerity" as the latest architectural trend back in 2000 within the architecthetics list.
When I was a kid, I took piano lessons with Sister Rita (not kidding) at St. Ambrose Convent. I remember the convent interior (at least the few public rooms that I regularly saw) being very austere, although also somewhat modern--the furnishings being like 1940s-50s institutional modern. In retrospect, the place also had a museum-like quality.
