Narrativity in Contemporary Architectural Historiography: Some possibilities for reading Leo Gens' texts

Summary/Abstract: This article studies new possibilities for reading canonical texts of 20th century architecture, focusing on the question, how textual strategies are used to construct historical knowledge. Taking critical historiography as a frame, Leo Gens' texts are read in comparison with Western classics. Gens' undefined causality and fragmented narrative show how the local conception of modern architecture in Estonia was not historically as 'thick' during the Soviet era as in Western teleological histories of architecture.
