Zwischen 1970 und 1990 ergab sich eine Entwicklung, die weithin als Postmoderne bekannt wurde. Die kritische Haltung gegenüber der funktionalistischen Moderne der 1960er Jahre führte zu einem wachsenden Interesse an Historismus, Symbolik und Bedeutung. Architekturtheorie stand zunehmend unter dem Einfluss der Phänomenologie, insbesondere der Semiotik. Architektur sollte lokale, regionale und nationale Identität in gebaute Form umsetzen. Diese Entwicklung stellte auch die ideologische und regionale Kluft zwischen Ost und West mehr und mehr in Frage. Statt nach Unterschieden wurde nach dem gemeinsamen Kulturerbe gefragt. Die Beiträge dieses Band analysieren die Begriffe „Moderne" und „Postmoderne" und untersuchen die Prozesse, die zu einer Aufwertung der architektonischen Tradition führten.

From 1970–1990, architecture experienced a revision as part of the post-modern movement. The critical attitude to the functionalistic Moderne style and the influence of semiotics and philosophical trends, such as phenomenology, on architectural theory led to an increased interest in its history, expression, perception, and context. In addition, architectural heritage and the care of architectural monuments gained importance. This development also increasingly challenged the ideologically based division between East and West. Instead of emphasizing the differences, the search was for a joint cultural heritage. The contributions in this volume question terms such as "Moderne" and "post-modern", and show how architecture could again represent local, regional, and national identity.

The international authors of this three-volume work show Europe’s post-war architecture in a new light. In spite of geo-political divisions and national differences, the developments in East and West are seen in context for the first time – a mutual perception, the transfer of knowledge, and cooperation, opened avenues across boundaries. Each volume is dedicated to a leading subject and its unfolding across overlapping periods of time.

Die internationalen Autoren des dreibändigen Werkes präsentieren die europäische Nachkriegsarchitektur in neuem Licht. Trotz geopolitischer Teilung und nationaler Differenzen werden die Entwicklungen in Ost und West erstmals im Zusammenhang gesehen: gegenseitige Wahrnehmung, Wissenstransfer und Kooperationen eröffneten Wege über Grenzen hinweg. Jeder Band ist einem Leitthema und seiner Entfaltung in sich überlagernden Zeitabschnitten gewidmet.
