Full Description

Good publication of the proceedings at the final CIAM meeting held at Otterlo in the Netherlands in 1959. Unlike preceding CIAM Congresses, this was a meeting for a selected gathering of architects only, with a programme devised by the Team X group. Notable attenders and contributors included Aldo van Eyck, the Smithsons, Giancarlo de Carlo, Ernesto Rogers, Candilis, Woods, Louis Kahn, Ralph Erskine and Kenzo Tange. Louis Kahn's concluding remarks (pp.205-16) are of particular interest.
