Symposium Young Blood EXPORT

Architectural studios operating all over the world have created a global architecture where shapes, technologies and functions are completely changing with every project. At the beginning of the 1990´s, central European architects naively believed that new forms of functionalism would serve ideally for the new economic conditions. This opinion prevented them from experimenting with new shapes that became the main global issue of architecture in the last decade.

Almost 20 years after the fall of the ‘iron wall’ and economical reinforcement of the region we can see a possibility for Central European architecture to become an integrate part of ‘European architecture’ as it is perceived from the western European perspective. A series of discussions, which are part the Young Blood EXPORT project, aims to free central European architecture from the heritage of ‘the post-communist capitalism’ and to bring in new perspectives and potentials the central European architecture offers.
