(can people actually see this article or is it subscription only?)

for people that aren't registered, it's just an article by former BD editor about the state of things in the 70's, (Peter Murray, editor 1974-1979). here's a quote:

In 1972 the UN Stockholm Conference was held - the first major international conference on environmental issues - and the Club of Rome published The Limits to Growth, which set out a blueprint for a sustainable society.

The mayor of Munich told BD that the Olympicshad allowed him to push through in six years improvements to the city that would have normally taken 20 years. Who said legacy was something new?

And the economy was in an awful mess. By 1975 one in three practices had less than five months’ work in the pipeline and it was estimated that 40% of architecture students would have to find work outside the profession.
