Abstract

The paper presents the concept of the capsule in architecture in relation to modernism, social and cultural change after World War II and experiments with housing typology and construction technology. Based on examples of genuine and metaphorical capsule architectures, the vividness and relevance of the concept is also shown through selected pioneering and contemporary examples from the cultural environments of Slovenia and Croatia.
