Abstract
Aesthetic acceptance is possible only when an acceptor has his own creativity. So, when the acceptor's creativity works more positively, that is, when his creativity is powerful enough, the acceptance no more stays simply as aestetic contemplation, but it can expand into the world of creation. We might say that re-creation interpreted in this sense forms the nucleus of the historical transition of architecture. When the acceptor, in designing his new building, changes the styles of architecture of former periods, or when he introduces those of other districts or countries, he can do so after recreating these architectural works and then himself becoming a creator to accomplish a new creation. This was how the architecture of ancient Greece was inherited to the architecture of ancient Rome which, as you know, was restored after so many years in Renaissance.
