Abstract: |
Functionalism became the prevalent ideology in the housing developments and the architecture in the decades after World War II, in Western Europe, in America and in socialist countries, thus becoming a truly ‘International’ style. The changes that occurred in urban life due to the postwar technocratic urban planning – that is, monofunctional districts, lack of connection with the specific place, disruption of the sense of community – influenced negatively life between buildings as well as social cohesion.. In this context, from the late 1950s onwards, intellectual trends in opposition to Functionalism start to appear. Inside the CIAM community, this critical trend is expressed by the Team X group. Radical groups such as the Situationists set the issue of spatial planning at the “core” of the critical, subversive thinking about the modern urban condition.
