TRANZZ-MODERNISM

In the seventies Modernism crumbled in the politiced uncontrollable urban and metropolitan centres. But at the end it resurrected gloriously and became very selfconfident and overexhilirated by innovations in the techniques of designing and building. Again, architects became public heroes by creating into the extremes, excesses of Form and Function.

They presented a world of brilliant progress and beautiful and sublime architectural feats, supported by technological and financial innovations. Late Modernism got into a trance and architects fell in love with themselves. It became Trance-Modernism. But it lost touch again with the urban reality and geopolitical conditions and in trance buzzed itself asleep, becoming TranZZ-Modernism.
