This research paper seeks the relationship between political intent and programming with architectural thought and output. Through the specific character of the seven year period of 1967-1974, the relations, the extent and the fashion with which politics can manage space related issues, are uniquely disclosed. The political campaigns of urban design, architecture-related legislative decrees, particular growth policies, such as tourism, that make use of architectural creation, the aesthetic criteria, the view on art and the city’s character through the eyes of a dictator, become the field of research and extraction of conclusions. The case study of the “Church of the Saviour”, describes the climax of an ideological dialogue between politics and architecture, in the related period. The analysis’ methodology places the controversial period in reliance with the past and future, to differentiate its own characteristics. If a government’s policy can indeed unwillingly influence or voluntarily manipulate the designer, then the architect is called upon his political responsibility and social part.
