Conceived and directed by Emilio Ambasz. With essays by Jean Baudrillard, Manuel Castells, Gillo Dorfles, Ronald Dworkin, Umberto Eco, Erich Jantsch, Suzanne Keller, Gyorgy Kepes, Richard L. Meier, Martin Pawley, Octavio Paz, Anatol Rapoport, Meyer Schapiro, Carl Schorske and Jivan Tabibian, among others. With foreword by Terrance Riley. In January of 1972, The Museum of Modern Art hosted "The universitas project," a two-day conference sponsored by the Museum’s International Council and the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies. The participants, from a wide range of scholarly and artistic disciplines, engaged in a multidisciplinary debate on the future of design and design institutions in the postindustrial era. The project was originally described as "a critical and prospective inquiry into the relation of man to the natural and the sociocultural environment...specifically planned to explore the possibility of establishing in the United States a new type of institution centered around the task of evaluating and designing the man-made milieu." This volume publishes in their entirety the various components of the conference : the working papers that set the terms of the debate; the essays submitted by the invitees; the proceedings of the symposia responding to the papers; and the postscripts provided by the participants after the event.

Summary:
OASE 87 is dedicated to the work of British architect Alan Colquhoun, situated within today’s debate on architecture criticism. The issue presents not only the different themes that Colquhoun addressed in his work, but also the various positions taken in his career as scholar, critic and practitioner.

Colquhoun’s work illustrates that architecture – even today – needs its own theory and cultural position.
