Until the end of the Cold War in 1990, building projects and
architectural icons played an important role in the self-portrayal
of the competing systems. However, as the current research shows,
we also find a large variety of forms of cooperation between the
East, the South, and the West, not to forget the manifold
cross-border entanglements within the South or the East. This book
explores the intersection of two strands of research. On the one
hand, interaction in the field of architecture and construction
between actors from socialist countries and from countries of the
Global South have increasingly won interest amongst historians of
architecture and planning. On the other hand, in the context of the
strongly emerging Cold War Studies, scholars have explored
cooperation and circulation across the Iron Curtain with a focus on
economic and research planning. This book connects perspectives of
planning, construction and architectural design with those on
economic interests and conflicts in projects and networks.
Furthermore, it opens the view to the hubs of communication and
exchange, and on patterns of longterm transformation and
appropriation of architecture.
