0 a person who strongly opposes generally accepted beliefs and traditions:
Rogers, an iconoclast in architecture, is sometimes described as putting the insides of buildings on the outside.
With one stroke the iconoclast is now able to start the most powerful suction and force pump ever devised.
Can we retrieve a meaning that would bring the broken pieces together, like archaeologists repair the damages of time, that greatest of all iconoclasts?
The modernists always have difficulty in understanding themselves because of their iconoclasm and because of the indefinite worries they have of having been iconoclasts.
The hammer strikes sideways, it strikes something other than that which the iconoclast wanted to break.
The corporation resisted, as far as it could, royal instructions to make good the damage caused on various occasions by iconoclasts.
Freedom is precisely what triggers and justifies the iconoclast's strokes.
It can still be used, to be sure, but not by an iconoclast and not to shatter a belief.
So the position of the iconoclasts tends to be viewed monochromatically, if not merely in hostile caricature.
