1973

1973 was a pivotal year in architecture marked by the global oil crisis, which profoundly redirected design thinking toward energy efficiency, climate-responsive building, and a renewed scrutiny of modernism’s legacy. Key works completed around this period reflect a transition between the optimism of late modernism and the emerging pluralism of postmodernism, as architects worldwide began questioning the universal ambitions of the International Style in favor of more contextual, regionally sensitive approaches.
