West Environment. New Landscapes of Design, 1960 –1980 28 /29 November 2014 Conference ETH Zurich The years between 1960 and 1980 were a period of a hitherto unknown scale of building production both in East and West Europe. New approaches in design were characterized by the expansion of architectural concepts to consider the whole environment, by the shift of attention from objects to processes, and by the turn to systems and networks. These developments went hand in hand with rapid modernization, but also with a rise of technocratic concepts and utopian ideals. Thorough changes came about in the years between 1968 and 1973 marked by conflict and crisis.
