Team 10-also known as Team X and Team Ten-was an international group of young and strident architects that emerged from the Congrès International d'Architecture Moderne (CIAM) and existed from 1953 to 1981. The group criticised the dogmatism of Le Corbusier and other proponents of classical modernism. Its most notable members included Alison and Peter Smithson (Britain), Georges Candilis and Shadrach Woods (USA), Jacob Bakema and Aldo van Eyck (Netherlands), Giancarlo De Carlo (Italy), and Stefan Wewerka (Germany). In this book, architectural historian Pedro Baía examines the influence of Team 10 on Portugal's architectural culture. At the time, the country was largely cut off from Europe's architecture hotspots. Using projects, completed buildings, images, texts, and statements by members of Team X, he illustrates how the group's ideas and work were interpreted, disseminated, and appropriated in the critical discourse of the Portuguese architectural scene. AUTHOR: Pedro Baía is a Porto-based architect, editor, educator, and researcher. He works as an integrated researcher at the University of Porto's Center for Architecture and Urbanism Studies (CEAU/FAUP) and teaches as visiting assistant professor at the Autonomous University of Lisbon's Department of Architecture (DA/UAL). He is also the founder-director of Circo de Ideias, an independent space for architecture in Porto. SELLING POINTS: .
