Viollet-le-Duc contrasts the construction principles used by the Greeks and Romans, highlighting how these ancient practices laid the groundwork for architectural advancements in the medieval era. He discusses the challenges posed by societal changes following the Roman Empire's decline, specifically focusing on the adaptation and innovation required by builders during the early Middle Ages.
