Book excerpt: During the 1980s and 1990s, German-Swiss architecture gained worldwide acclaim on account of its constructional and aesthetic coherence. The production purported on ethical orientation, seeking a sense of stability in reaction to postmodern relativism. Irina DAvisovici discusses the cultural and theoretical conditions of this architecture as facets of one artistic and cultural phenomenon. She attempts to reveal the implicit conflicts between shared values and individual expression, artistic integrity and economic interest.
