TY - JOUR TI - Complexity in late twentieth century theory of architecture AU - Żyła, Michał TI - Complexity in late twentieth century theory of architecture AB - Postmodernism established the term ‘complexity’ as crucial for the twentieth century theory of architecture. 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).
