Why is Postmodern Architecture so bizarre? ARTiculations
Notes from the video:
Defined as a response to modernism
Defying traditional stereotypes and design
Architecture can acknowledge change and difference while accepting memory
Modern architecture likely took off all around the world during the 40s and 50s due to its efficiency in post-war construction efforts
Post-modernism reflection of the formal establishments can be appealing in the context of counterculture and protest movements between the 1960s and 1970s- appealed to political movements
Post-modernism is often a complex layering of multiple histories or a hybrid of numerous contextual counterparts
Attempting to connect past, present, and future- its look depends on context
