Notes:
"Team 10 East never existed. This volume develops that term as a conceptual tool to discuss the work of Team 10 members and fellow travelers from state-socialist countries--such as Oskar Hansen of Poland and Charles Polónyi of Hungary, along with a number of architects from Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. The book's contributors offer a comparative perspective on modern architecture and modernization in Central and Eastern Europe, and address 'revisionism' in state-socialist culture and politics. Team 10 East shows how the principles of postwar architecture and urbanism were appropriated, critiqued and modified both from within and from beyond the confines of a Europe divided by the Cold War."--Page 4 of cover
"This volume is an outcome of two events dedicated to Team 10 members and fellow travellers from Central and Eastern Europe, organized at the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw: a panel 'Team 10 East' held during the conference 'Oskar Hansen--Opening Modernism' (curated by Aleksandra Kędziorek and Łukasz Ronduda in collaboration with Łukasz Stanek, June 6-7, 2013) and a research workshop 'Team 10 East' (organized by Łukasz Stanek in collaboration with Aleksandra Kędziorek, June 8, 2013)"--Colophon
