From 1960–1980, both eastern and western Europe experienced a
construction boom of new dimensions. Cybernetics, the science of
planning, and sociology, as well as the new possibilities offered
by technology and production, paved the way to large-scale
processes and systems in architecture and urban design, which
favored technocratic and utopian concepts. Increasingly, architects
and planners saw themselves as designers of comprehensive
infrastructure and mega-structures in a technology-focused world.
The authors assesses these developments on the back of a knowledge
transfer between East and West. It confirms a change in attitude
that can still be felt today – recession, social changes, and
environmental problems led to criticism of the then contemporary
concepts of modernity.
