| Abstract: | The article discusses the book "Architecture in Global Socialism: Eastern Europe, West Africa, and the Middle East in the Cold War" by Łukasz Stanek. The book explores the architectural exchanges between Eastern Europe and Africa and the Middle East during the Cold War. It highlights the significant impact of Eastern European architects, agencies, and companies in reinventing cities in these regions. The book also examines the theoretical underpinnings of these exchanges and reframes architectural history as a history of urbanization. Overall, the book provides a groundbreaking perspective on twentieth-century architecture and is a valuable resource for further research. [Extracted from the article] |
