- Description
- Historically, the term "cardboard architecture" has had a range of often-pejorative meanings associated with it. In the 1960s it was used to describe various buildings which had facades that resembled flat planes and which had been punctured by simple orthagonal holes to create windows. This was literally a form of building which resembled a cardboard model and which lacked ornament or a sense of materiality.
