CIAM X was organized by Team 10, under the supervision of the CIAM X Advisory Committee, and was considered by national groups and most CIAM members to be the last CIAM congress. Of the olders members, Groupius and Le Corbusier stayed away, as did Marcel Lods of the French group Bâtir, Honorary President Cor van Eesteren, and Polish member Helena Syrkus. Giedion, Gropius, Sert, Lê Corbusier, and Van Eesteren had all sent in their resignations before the congress wich required thath they discuss institutional changes and none of the 'founding' members who attented presented projects of grids. The behavior of the middle and older generations provoked the wrath of Alisson Smithson who claimed that subversive activities were discussed by Team 10 in the courtyard of their hotel.
The congress had a tone of retrospection. Sert's opening speech gave a historical account of CIAM's concern with dwelling beginning in the congress before the Second World War.
