The steady erosion of the material base of architectural design and construction has been principally caused by economic considerations. As a result, the very moral, intellectual and substantive foundations of architecture have been eroded. This demise parallels developments in other fields of human culture. The cumulative effect of this erosion is the “construction” of thin layers of fiction that consolidate states of false consciousness. Over centuries, architecture has both been coopted and allowed itself to become the servant of collective fictions. With climate change, the next layer of fiction to be superimposed on this cultural veneer is that of “nature”.

‘Introduction’ is a wide-ranging theoretical and historical argument for the fundamental importance of the concept of horror to the history of human culture and civilization. Horror is written into our earliest cultural and artistic documents, and our religions and their rituals. There are differences between horror and terror; the Gothic; the uncanny; and the weird that are important when considering horror. Horror is a culturally determined form that suffers from historical anxieties. This can be seen by looking at such as imperialism, nuclear warfare, and climate change.
