1972-Present: Postmodernism
The Postmodernist Movement in Architecture
Combining new ideas with traditional forms, postmodernist buildings may startle, surprise, and even amuse.
Postmodernism: A reaction to the Modern style was Postmodernism which developed in the 1950s. It reintroduces color and symbolism to architecture, replacing the aggressively unornamented modern styles.
[edit] Postmodernism
The postmodernist movement began in America around the 1960's/70's and then it spread to Europe and the rest of the world, to remain right through to the present.
Although Postmodernism is not a cohesive movement based on a distinct set of principles, as was modernism, in general it can be said that the Postmodernists value individuality, intimacy, complexity, and occasionally even humour.
