Abstract
1968 was «the year that would subvert the world» when revolutions, the undermining of the established order and new prospects marked every aspect of the social, cultural and artistic life in the western world. In architecture, the irruption of such novelties generated movements of reaction and opposition: updates to the critique of Modernism and attempts to refounding the discipline, new fields of theoretical exploration, visionary scenarios of technological utopias, new processes in the architectural practice. At the same time, the conservative trends that will produce a “return to order” in some fundamental experiences of ’70s to ‘80s are taking shape. After fifty years from that pivotal date, HPA publishes a monographic issue that collects a set of original contributions on some still unexplored episodes from such an intense and meaningful moment in history.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
