…International Style Architecture
[Postmodernism]
The International Style became the mainstream for high-rise office buildings around the world, but from the 1960s onwards, voices began to emerge that disliked its uniform and impersonal space. Works such as Le Corbusier's Church at Ronchamp (1954), the Sydney Opera House (1956) designed by Jørn Utzon (1918-) of Denmark, and the National Gymnasium (1964) designed by Kenzo Tange, had already exhibited forms that could not be explained solely in terms of fulfilling their function, and in the 1970s the influence of American architect LI Kahn, who advocated the classical form that had been a tradition in design at the École des Beaux-Arts (national school of fine arts) in France, and PC Johnson, who revived symbolic expression in high-rise buildings with the AT&T Building (1978), grew stronger. The consistent theme of modern architecture, the expression of structural technology and the application of industrial production to architecture, gave rise to such expressions as the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Leicester (1959) designed by J. Stirling and the Centre Pompidou in Paris (1977) designed by Piano Rogers, but prefabricated buildings and industrialized building materials had already become a part of everyday life in developed countries.

…国際様式建築
[ポスト・モダニズム]
 国際様式は世界中の高層事務所建築の主流となったが,その画一的かつ非個性的な空間を嫌う声が60年代から現れてくる。すでにル・コルビュジエのロンシャンに建つ教会(1954),デンマークのウッツォンJørn Utzon(1918‐ )によるシドニー・オペラ・ハウス(1956設計),丹下健三設計の国立屋内総合競技場(1964)などの作品が,機能の充足のみからは説明のできない造形を示していたし,70年代に入るとフランスのエコール・デ・ボザール(国立美術学校)における設計の伝統であった古典主義的造形を標榜するアメリカのL.I.カーン,またAT & Tビル(1978設計)によって高層ビルに象徴的表現を復活させたP.C.ジョンソンらの影響力が強まった。構造技術の表現,工業生産力の建築への応用という近代建築の一貫したテーマは,J.スターリング設計のレスター大学工学部(1959),ピアノ=ロジャーズ設計のパリのポンピドゥー・センター(1977)などの表現を生んだが,プレハブ建築や工業化された建築部材はすでに先進国の日常生活そのものとなっていた。…
