Interdisciplinary complexity sciences developed independently throughout half of the century. The article tracks down relationships between the two, highlighting, among others, common genesis (Herbert A. Simon’s complex systems theory, adopted by Robert Venturi and Christopher Alexander) and theorists depending heavily on complexity sciences (eg. Lucien Kroll or Nikos Salingaros).}, doi = {10.4467/00000000PUA.19.007.10010}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/przestrzen-urbanistyka-architektura/article/zagadnienie-zlozonosci-w-teorii-architektury-konca-xx-wieku} }
