Team 10 meetings

Printuitgave: Team 10 Meetings 1953 - 1984, (edition 1991)edited by Alison
Smithson, completes a triad of Team 10 documents
following CIAM 59 in Otterlo (1961) and Team 10
Primer (1962 - 1968). This document offers a
personal remembering of Team 10, a record of all
meetings and excerpts of two representative meetings:
those at Royaumont (1962) and Rotterdam
(1974). Thus more than a decade of central thought
by Team 10 is spanned, from the emotions and
manifestos of the fifties via the projects of the sixties
to the seventies, when ideas began to come to
fruition at Toulouse Le Mirail, in the Serlin Free
University, the Housing Wall in Syker, the Catholic
Church in The Hague, the Housing Estate 't Hooi in
Eindhoven, and in Robin Hood Gardens in London.
Team 10 was European and in their discussions we
hear European architects thinking aloud. As practicing
architects, without doubt, those who
comprised the Team 10 family were the leading
architects of their period.
Team 10 family members were, as individu als, both
tenured and visiting professors in Schools of Architecture
throughout Europe. As teachers in the United
States of America they have touched two if not three
generations of students. Their words will resonate
for architects throughout the world who were their
students within the thirty years from the 1950s into
the 1980s.
