The book "In Opposition to Modernity: Current Positions in Architecture - A Textbook" presents a unique perspective on the development of modern architecture and its impact on society. The author argues that the rapid pace of technological advancements in the field of architecture has led to a disconnection between the built environment and the needs of the human experience. The book emphasizes the importance of understanding the process of technological evolution and its impact on society, in order to develop a personal paradigm for perceiving the technological process of developing modern knowledge. This personal paradigm can serve as the basis for the survival of humanity and the unification of people in a warring state. The book begins by examining the historical context of modern architecture and how it has evolved over time. It highlights the key figures and movements that have shaped the field, such as Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, and the Bauhaus movement. The author then delves into the current positions in architecture, including sustainability, digitalization, and globalization, and how they have influenced the built environment. One of the central themes of the book is the need to study and understand the process of technology evolution in order to appreciate the significance of modern architecture. The author argues that this process has led to a loss of human scale and the dehumanization of urban spaces.
