Description

First published in 2017 as Revisiting Postmodernism, this refreshed edition of a seminal text reflects on a design movement that changed our world. Postmodernism invites readers to explore the style in a new light, as the cultural phenomenon that it is, one which thrives on complexity and pluralism. Exploring its expression not only in architecture, but in design, urban planning and placemaking, Postmodernism reflects on the history of the movement and its continuing influence on design practice today. Sir Terry Farrell and Adam Nathaniel Furman present two separate but complementary perspectives of this rich period of architectural history; one account as lived experience from a protagonist and pioneer in the field of postmodern architecture, and the other analysing the movement afresh, through the lens of the 21st century. Shedding new light onto the forces and influences of the time, and offering insight into how these were transforming approaches to architecture both in the UK and internationally, this important book presents a new appreciation of this period of architectural history. Sumptuously illustrated with examples from across the globe, Postmodernism offers a fresh perspective on buildings of this period, sharing their richness, diversity, and brilliance, with an emphasis on what was interesting, beautiful and unique about the architecture which emerged from this unusually fertile moment in history.
