Employs distinctions discerned by Peter Bürger between the modern movement and the historical avant-garde to reinterpret concepts critical to architectural theories. Discusses the significance of Boullée's avant-garde architecture and contrasts architecture since the late 19th c. in which form, divorced from socio-political context, is the sole content. Suggests that the failure of the project of the historical avant-garde, coupled with the nihilism of technology, has problematized current theories of architecture, e.g., Tafuri and Frampton.
