POST-ARCHITECTURE

The second half of the 20th century was marked by extraordinary socio-political, socio-economic and socio-cultural turning points: the end of the Cold War, consolidation of capitalism and globalization, extreme development of information technology, to mention a few. The period was also significant as the ending of certain powers, different phenomena and paradigms, which at first seemed immovable, such as Socialism, Colonialism and Modernity. All this simply could not pass over the architecture and its expression concepts on broader cultural field. Recently architecture is often analyzed in the contexts of post-socialism, post-colonialism and post-modernism. This series of talks is intended to figure out, how the transformations of the second half of the 20th century have influenced the development and state of architecture, with a special focus on the Eastern European region. This 20th series of talks will present architects, resarchers, academics who will share their insights on the phenomenon of POST – architecture of the late 20th century.

The 20th series of talks of Architecture Fund are supported by Lithuanian Council for Culture, Polish Institute in Vilnius, Aco Nordic, Alucobond, Cembrit, Schindler, Tarkett, Velux.
