Please would you help me with this translation:
1. Voraussetzungen
"Er ((Gottfried Semper)) habe sich die Aufgabe gestellt, eine
»vergleichende Baukunst« zu schreiben, erklärte Semper 1850, in der er
»ungefähr nach der Analogie deßen, was durch Cuvier und andere dem
Naturstudium eine ganz neue Richtung gab«, die Verwandtschaften und
Verschiedenheiten unter den Werken der Baukunst durch das »Aufsuchen
der Grundmotive« entwickeln wollte."

Dear leander1,

Here is the translation of that text:

1. Premises
"Semper declared in 1850 that he (Gottfried Semper) had assigned
himself the task to write a »comparative architecture«, in which he
wanted, »along the lines of what through Cuvier and others gave a new
direction to the study of nature«, to develop the affinities and
differences among the works of architecture by »going to the basic
concepts«."

Hope this helps!
Regards,
Scriptor
