THE DECIMAL POINT

摘要

A quarter of a century since Team 10 disbanded, this is the perfect time to take stock of what it did. By now, the differences between the individual members are as clear as what united them - their attempt to give a more human dimension to Modern architecture; their challenge to the dogmatic functionalism of CIAM and the planning edicts of the Athens Charter, which split cities into separate zones for homes, work, leisure and transport. All the main protagonists - Jaap Bakema, Georges Candilis, Giancarlo De Carlo, Aldo van Eyck, the Smithsons and Shadrach Woods - are dead, so they cannot answer back as the historians get to work.
