La arquitectura del Estado del Bienestar en los Países Bajos: el aula de la Tu Delft (1948-1968) ; The architecture of the Dutch Welfare State: the TU Delft Aula

[EN] During the Cold War, the confrontation between the western and eastern bloc for world supremacy went beyond the sphere of politics and encompassed areas such as culture or lifestyle. The two systems promised a future of progress and happiness to a society dazzled by science and technology.

Los dos sistemas prometían un futuro de progreso y felicidad a una sociedad deslumbrada por la ciencia y la tecnología.

En este sentido, el brutalismo se convirtió en uno de los lenguajes arquitectónicos oficiales del Estado del bienestar y bajo sus principios se construyeron gran parte de los equipamientos públicos sanitarios y educativos de la posguerra. Uno de los edificios paradigmáticos de la nueva monumentalidad ...
