Denkmal Postmoderne

The Architectural Heritage of Postmodernism - Current State of Research on Architecture and Monument Preservation The architectural heritage of postmodernism bears witness to an era that was defined by the energy crises of the 1970s, the return to architecture as a means of communication and a conduit of meaning, neoliberalism in the construction sector, the end of grand narratives, and the spirit of optimism in the early 1990s. Focusing on the German-speaking world, this volume reveals how this heritage can be captured, preserved and further developed. It includes contributions from the conference of the same name, which took place in Weimar in March 2022 in collaboration with ETH Zurich. The authors shed light on the theoretical and practical challenges of dealing with an era that is subject to a wide range of qualitative perceptions and is - as its name suggests - still ongoing. - Current state of research on postmodern architecture and its preservation New findings on the topic of building within existing structures Research reports in German with English summaries of each Also available as a set with the congress volume HighTech Heritage 9783035627848
