History and of Architecture VI: Antiquity & Medieval

Many of our modern frameworks of architectural design date back to the Renaissance. Then, quality was evaluated in comparison to "good" ancient and "bad" medieval models, an idea we (perhaps) no longer hold.

How does our understanding of these perids inform our thinking about the use of history for the architect today?
