Architecture of the 60s

The first comprehensive study of Czech architecture of the 1960s is presented in this fact-laden publication. It captures all the important buildings and projects from this important period and offers their interpretation. The temporary relaxation of conditions allowed the creation of buildings that can often be compared with the best times of Czech architecture from the interwar period. The basis of the book is a theoretical study placing Czech architecture of that time in a global context and, in particular, a chronological overview of buildings designed or built in the Czech Republic during the 1960s. The authors also pay significant attention to the artistic treatment of the interiors of the buildings. More than 1300 photographs, plans and drawings are attractive to architects and the general public.
