Postmodern Architecture
Hardback
Less is a Bore
This unprecedented book takes its subtitle from Postmodernist icon Robert Venturi's spirited response to Mies van der Rohe's dictum that 'less is more'. One of the 20th century's most controversial styles, Postmodernism began in the 1970s, reached a fever pitch of eclectic noconformity in the 1980s and 90s, and after nearly 40 years is now enjoying a newfound popularity. POSTMODERN ARCHITECTURE showcases examples of the movement in a rainbow of shades and forms from around the globe.
