Revisiting Postmodernism invites readers to see postmodernism in a
new light: not just as a style, but as a cultural phenomenon which
embraces all areas of life, and thrives on complexity and
pluralism. Focusing on architecture but touching on other elements
of design, urban planning and place making, this engaging book
reflects both on the historical movement and on how postmodernism
influences practices 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, Revisiting
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.
