Revisiting Postmodernism
Terry Farrell, Adam Nathaniel Furman
Revisiting Postmodernism offers an engaging wide-ranging and highly illustrated account of postmodernism in architecture from its roots in the 1940s to its ongoing relevance today. This book invites readers to see Postmodernism in a new light: not just a style but a cultural phenomenon that embraces all areas of life and thrives on complexity and pluralism in contrast to the strait-laced single-style top-down inclination of its predecessor Modernism. While focusing on architecture this book also explores aspects such as urban masterplanning furniture design art and literature. Looking at Postmodernism through the lens of examples from around the world each chapter explores the movement in the UK on the one hand and its international counterparts on the other reflecting on the historical movement but also how postmodernism influences practices today. This book offers the insider’s view on postmodernism by the author a recognised pioneer in the field of postmodern architecture and a prestigious and authoritative participant in the postmodern movement.
