Once bound by the Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance (commonly known as theWarsaw Pact) the diverse cultures and rich architectural histories of Eastern Europe were nearlyinaccessible to all but native travelers after WWII. The last 20 years have been a period of significanttransformation in the region and the current moment presents an opportunity to examine how thepeople of Eastern Europe have built, rebuilt, preserved, and adapted their cities through two decadesof growth and throughout their history.
Traveling rapidly through many languages, borders, economies and cultures, we will survey thepresent state of the above 13 Eastern European cities. These cities have extensive and characteristicarchitectural heritages, as well as long histories of economic and cultural exchange among each other.We will travel well-trodden routes with an eye for the current traces of those exchanges, invitingawareness of comparative experience and place.
In these historic urban fabrics we will visit recent works of architecture, and seek out architectscurrently practicing to learn what challenges and sustains them in this new era.
