Summary:

"This book offers an abundantly illustrated survey of Team 10 meetings, events and project documentation, as well as additional keys to the Team 10 discourse. Running parallel to the chronological narratives is an evaluation of the legacy of Team 10, with essays by leading scholars on the origins and position of Team 10 within the history of architecture. These writings examine crossovers with visual and non-Western cultures and shed light on architectural and urban solutions formulated in response to the problems of post-war modernity. A third and final section, which is devoted to a series of interviews with former Team 10 members, provides a unique portrait of the group and its meetings."--Jacket.
