In this chapter, the author relates his experiences when he visited Moscow in the mid seventies. He had been invited to discuss certain questions with the people responsible for the Olympic Games, which were to take place in Moscow in 1980. Aicher's suggestion that pioneering works of Russian constructivism should be renovated, was met with incomprehension and rejection. According to Aicher, design and architecture are in a profound crisis. They are no longer derived from argument and good reasons like science and technology, but from whim, from aesthetic chance, according to which art can be worshipped and cannibalized. Design must rest on the same foundations as science and technology. The culture people are experiencing culture today is being ruined by state monopoly. Modernism is finding its way back to a new culture of surface and superficiality.
