TOWER AND OFFICE

A study of the complex relationship between technological development and the conceptual basis of architectural design, from World War II to early 1990s. In Tower and Office, Spanish architects Iñaki Abalos and Juan Herreros look at the role and impact of advanced building technologies in American architecture since World War II. The war, they claim, marked the end of the first cycle of modernism, challenging the belief that technological progress alone could produce a perpetually better future.
