Author Description

The international authors of this three-volume work show Europe's post-war architecture in a new light. In spite of geo-political divisions and national differences, the developments in East and West are seen in context for the first time - a mutual perception, the transfer of knowledge, and cooperation, opened avenues across boundaries. Each volume is dedicated to a leading subject and its unfolding across overlapping periods of time. Vol. 1: Re-humanizing Architecture: New Forms of Community, 1950-1970; Vol. 2: Re-scaling the Environment: New Landscapes of Design, 1960-1980; Vol. 3: Re-framing Identities: Architecture's Turn to History, 1970-1990.
