ENRecent discussion in professional and public spheres regarding the legacy of postmodernism indicate that a more general interest in the architectural legacy of the second half of the last century has grown. Previously widely discussed in the West, architectural postmodernism is now of interest to the architectural discourse in Eastern and Central Europe.
