This issue of the Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians explores the mythical and architectural significance of Haiti's Citadelle Laferrière and Sans-Souci Palace, built during the reign of Henri Christophe, the first king of Haiti. Despite the lack of archival records, these neoclassical structures are analyzed as symbolic representations of insurgency and resistance against colonialism, embodying the ephemeral condition of rebellion. Additionally, the issue reexamines Louis Sullivan's Wainwright Building in St. Louis, revealing its role as a monument to the city's brewing industry and lager landscape, while also highlighting the integration of air-conditioning systems in Washington, D.C.'s classical architecture, which revolutionized comfort and efficiency in federal buildings. The Field Notes section reflects on Edward Said's Orientalism, marking its 40th anniversary and assessing its impact on architectural discourse.
