This book demonstrates how architecture can be visually conveyed despite historical uncertainty. It is an architectural contribution to resolving the dilemma that historical representations, in order to be vivid, often consist of pure fantasy. The method presented here translates archaeological hypotheses from words into images. As a result, the outcome is scientifically sound, even if it frequently involves analogical reasoning. This ambiguity is conveyed through the abstraction of the model. Thus, it is not the built structure itself but its concept that is depicted—and so clearly that misunderstandings are minimized. This transforms our perception of lost architecture. Instead of a glorified, romanticized past, it is conveyed as a timeless message.
