Overview

This architectural journal examines the legacy of the academic and professional confrontations of the 1960s. The issue is assembled around the transcript of the 1992 conference, ""Rethinking Designs of the '60s"". It includes documents from the Architect's Resistance, a student group whose activities coincided with the dissolution of Yale's Department of City Planning and an explosion and fire at the Yale Art and Architecture building in 1969, as well as internal documents from the university related specifically to these events. The issue presents contemporary American projects that represent another generation of commitment to activist practice - continuing to approach design as a socially engaged, oppositional mission. Also included are an interview with Virginia Schaff and essays by a variety of authors.
