Description

The international authors of this three-volume work show Europe’s post-war architecture in a new light. In spite of geo-political divisions and national differences, the developments in East and West are seen in context for the first time – a mutual perception, the transfer of knowledge, and cooperation, opened avenues across boundaries. Each volume is dedicated to a leading subject and its unfolding across overlapping periods of time.
