Oppositions 1973-1984

Abstract

In 1973, from the rooms of the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies (IAUS) of New York, came out the first issue of «Oppositions», a magazine intended to be, in the ’70s, an agent of radical transformations and a point of reference for US architectural culture that could generate a theoretical debate on architecture and its internationalization. Directing it from 1974 to 1982 was an editorial committee consisting of the American architect Peter Eisenman, the Argentine architect Mario Gandelsonas, and the English historian Kenneth Frampton. The committee was joined later by the historians Anthony Vidler and Kurt Forster.
