Abstract	In 1942, Richard Krautheimer published his ground-breaking article Introduction to an 'Iconography of Architecture' and helped to define a new approach to architectural history that would influence the field throughout the 20th century. In that time, theories of iconography have significantly changed, but Krautheimer's work remains an introduction only. This panel intends to interrogate architectural iconography through case studies of British and French buildings, and the legacy of iconographies in modern military architecture. The intention is to begin a discussion concerning the future of architectural iconography and whether it can adapt to modern approaches towards the medieval built environment.
