In the introduction of “The New Architecture and the Avant-Garde” it is stated that the new “Tendenza” of architecture is to create autonomy. To create an architecture divorced from its functional and economic context and instead to create a sense of disciplinary autonomy against the capitalist driven society.
The “Tendenza” has the view that architecture is a cognitive process that then materializes into a physical embodiment of the process it took to create it. This image of the mental process is not in the pursuit or immersion of political, economic, social, or technological changes. The metaphysical embodiment of this mental exercise is also not a representation of the vernacular.

The study of architectural history is important and the cognitive process of architecture should not feel repressed by its study. Ernest Nathan Rogers makes the point that time is a steady continuity in which the present is eternally related to the past though it is made up of periods of slow evolution and also relatively short moments of bombastic revolutions.
The past puts the present into perspective.

Knowledge influences memory and then architecture.
The importance of the evolution of architecture is entrusted to each architect to be unique and to contribute to the evolution. It is in this individualism that an analysis of a structure as a work of art, as Rossi argues in his “The Architecture of the City,” can be made. The city that exhibits architectural evolution is an anthology of individual snapshots showing the progression of architectural and cultural developments, demonstrating perceptions of the past, how people have perceived their spaces, and is, in essence, a living artifact of the anthropological study of the peoples.
