After the end of the Second World War, America was ranked as the world's leading industrial force. The 1950s and 60s were commented on as America's "brilliant time". However, the apparent prosperity, after the end of the Second World War, led to lethargy and, consequently, to paranoid disorders. The fear of Cold War was in existence. The result of this situation was the strong and unprecedented, for America, phenomenon of suburbanization. The traditional American small town lost its glamour and splendour. This situation requires and anticipates ways of rapidly redefining and organizing America's domestic policy.
Stagnancy and chaos are the feelings that the situation in Europe creates after the end of the Second World War. Post-war disruption catapults the European countries and shapes the most suitable ground for adopting and embracing the element of outlandish (originating in America) in all aspects of human life: perceptions, attitudes, lifestyle, design and architecture.
Everything that mercilessly plagues post-war Europe leaves, seemingly, untouched America, which will appear as an exemplary model. The ambitious undertaking of this intrusive foreign policy will be promptly supported by America’s business world and intelligentsia.
Leading for their innovation, Walt Disney and Conrad Hilton will help reorganize and adopt a strong domestic policy of America as well as America's penetration into the rest of the world. Using Architecture as a springboard and making the most of its potential, they will invest in the tourism industry as founders of Disney's Theme Parks and Hilton International.
In the present research study, these two architectural projects are examined individually and in comparison with each other, both in terms of their effect on American culture as well as its dissemination outside America.
