Жилищное строительство 1950–1970 годов: баланс количества и качества

Abstract

Two decades after the end of World War II are characterized by profound changes in the general direction of the development of architecture. The use of industrial methods in construction made it possible to quickly restore the destroyed housing stock. At the same time, similar processes took place both in the countries of the socialist bloc and in Western Europe and the United States. Based on the theory of information flows, the article shows the patterns of development of the architectural process. The priority of high quality construction leads to a reduction in the number of buildings and, as a consequence, to an increase in social tension. The period from the late 1940s to the late 1960s is considered as a period of an optimal balance between quantity and quality of the development.
