The production of this book stems from two of the editors'
longstanding research interests: the representation of architecture
in print media, and the complex identity of the second phase of
modernism in architecture given the role it played in postwar
reconstruction in Europe. While the history of postwar
reconstruction has been increasingly well covered for most European
countries, research investigating postwar architectural magazines
and journals across Europe - their role in the discourse and
production of the built environment and particularly their
inter-relationship and differing conceptions of postwar
architecture - is relatively undeveloped. Modernism and the
Professional Architecture Journal sounds out this territory in a
new collection of essays concerning the second phase of the
reception and assimilation of modernism in architecture, as it was
represented in professional architecture journals during the period
of postwar reconstruction (1945-1968). Professional architecture
journals are often seen as conduits of established facts and
knowledge. The role mainstream publications play, however, in
establishing 'movements', 'trends' or 'debates' tends to be
undervalued. In the context of the complex undertaking of postwar
reconstruction, the shortage of resources, political uncertainty
and the biographical complexities of individual architects, the
chapters on key European architecture journals collected here
reveal how modernist architecture, and its discourse, was perceived
and disseminated in different European countries.
