✦ Synopsis
Abstract
Meanings inevitably shift with the point of view of the commentator. Maria Topolcanska investigates the shifting identities of Czech and Slovak architectures over time, from the postwar era through to the present. Creating an analogy between the historic travelogues of the past and the assumptions of the Western media, she emphasises the need for local architectures to be disseminated through locally organised platforms and press.
