Review: Archetecture in 1990s

For economic, technological and historical reasons the period between 1985 and 1995 will be remembered as one of fundamental change in art and architecture. The 1980s were of course a time of economic excess, when "Golden Boys" ruled the financial markets, and record prices were paid even for insignificant work of art. Easy money and uncritical demand went hand in hand to boost construction and to encourage a closer link between a certain conciousness of fashion, and artistic and architectural creativity. This was all to end for reasons linked to such events as the october 1987 collapse of the New Yark stock market, or the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989. In a new climate of doubt and economic restrictions, architecture would be obliged to take New Forms.
