Abstract
This text analyses the forgotten political role of the theory of critical regionalism, exploring the idea of tabula rasa as a metaphor for ideological refusal. The text contextualizes the emergence of this theory in the intellectual journey of its author, Kenneth Frampton, and shows that the expression tabula rasa condensed the refusal of form and history in the image of the cancelation of topography. This, as a symbol of the ideological neutralization of architecture, operating as an antithesis for the formulation of a new theory.
