Ciam, team x, and the rediscovery of african settlements

My instinct tells me that there are today a few who are across the brink of another sensibility — a sensibility about cities, a sensibility about human patterns and collective built forms. Looking back to the fifties it was then that the brink was crossed, it was then that architectural theory convulsed, then that the social sciences suddenly seemed important. A change of sensibility is what I now think Team X was all about. ¹
