| Description | The paper attempted to present results of an analysis of historical magazines of architecture that was driven by the question of how architecture and urbanism from Western capitalist countries was presented in Czechoslovak magazines for professionals and how it was used as inspiration or criticised. It points out to what extent the local ‘socialist’ architecture and planning referred to ‘Western’ practices, how it developed in parallel to international production, and how the ideological context influenced the way this practice was discursively framed. |
