Postmodernism


I recently visited the Postmodernism exhibition at the V&A which encompassed all the arts including architecture including Charles Jencks's writings and theories on postmodernism.

Displayed as part of the exhibition for the New wave period in the 1980's were copies of the publication Domus which was a important method to deliver news about what was happening at that stage of the movement.  We subscribe to Domus in the library where print copies can be found dating from 1963 to current day so if you are interested in reading more about the movement as it was percieved then why not take a browse of the 1980's range (if you are not sure where/how to locate please let me know).

In relation to this there is also a recent article in The Architectural Review, Vol 1377, November 2011 pgs 112-117 "Reassessing Postmodernism is the movement still relevant 50 years on?" by Colin Fournier - we also subscribe to this journal in print.
