El período de 1960 a 1990 es muy importante para la aparición del discurso arquitectónico en los países del primer mundo. Fue resultado de la publicación prolífica de textos durante este período que marcaron un cambio en la práctica de la arquitectura, crearon conciencia entre los profesionales de la arquitectura y el público en general sobre el estado de la disciplina y mostraron la necesidad de alterar los métodos de conceptualización, diseño y práctica. Este artículo muestra la relación entre los medios impresos y la arquitectura, con un enfoque en los textos publicados en el período seleccionado. El artículo se basa en la hipótesis de que hubo una publicación prolífica de textos arquitectónicos entre 1960 y 1990 y reconoce el surgimiento de la esfera pública debido al impacto de una variedad de medios impresos, como libros y revistas, en los pensamientos y las acciones humanas. Este artículo se divide en tres partes: la primera analiza la imprenta como medio de comunicación, la segunda describe la evolución de la esfera pública en la arquitectura y la tercera identifica las instituciones teóricas como parte de la esfera pública.
