A "period" is understood not as some omnipresent and uniform shared style or way of thinking and acting, but rather as the sharing of a common objective situation, to which a whole range of varied responses and creative innovations is then possible, but always within that situation's structural limits.

Structure of feeling

a particular quality of social experience (…), historically distinct from other particular qualities, which gives the sense of a generation or of a period

Romanticism is 

‘unity and multiplicity. It is fidelity to the particular . . . and also mysterious tantalising vagueness of outline. It is beauty and ugliness. It is art for art’s sake, and art as instrument of social salvation. It is strength and weakness, individualism and collectivism, purity and corruption, revolution and reaction, peace and war, love of life and love of death’

I. Berlin (2001), The Roots of Romanticism

The world must be romanticized. In this way its original meaning will be rediscovered. To romanticize is nothing but a qualitative heightening [Potenzierung]. In this process the lower self is identified with a better self. [...]

Insofar as I present the commonplace with significance, the ordinary with mystery, the familiar with the seemliness of the unfamiliar and the finite with the semblance of the infinite, I romanticize it.

“ the age of the architectural icon—that extravagant, exuberant, “wow”‐inducing building on a pedestal— is dead, or more precisely, in its death throes”

"Of all the arts, architecture is the closest…to the economic, with which, in the form of commissions and land values, it has a virtually unmediated relationship...”

Green roofs, artificial mountains and geological forms; buildings you can walk on or over; networks of ramps and warped surfaces; buildings that carve into the ground or landscapes lifted high into the air: all these are commonplace in architecture today. 

New technologies, new design techniques and a demand for enhanced environmental performance have provoked a re‐consideration of architecture’s traditional relationship to the ground.
