This 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 non-conformity 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 hues and forms from around the globe.

After World War II, West Germans and West Berliners found ways of communicating both their recent sufferings and aspirations for stable communities through buildings that fused the ruins of historicist structures with new constructions rooted in the modernism of the 1910s and 201820s. As Modernism as Memory illustrates, these postwar practices undergird the approaches later taken in influential structures created or renovated in Berlin following the fall of the Wall, including the Jewish Museum and the Reichstag, the New Museum and the Topography of Terror. While others have characterized contemporary Berlins museums and memorials as postmodern, Kathleen James-Chakraborty argues that these environments are examples of an architecture of modern memorythat is much older, more complex, and historically contingent. She reveals that churches and museums repaired and designed before 1989 in Dfcren, Hanover, Munich, Neviges, Pforzheim, Stuttgart, and Weil am Rhein contributed to a modernist precedent for the relationship between German identity and the past developed since then in the Ruhr region and in Berlin. Modernism as Memory demonstrates that how one remembers can be detached from what one remembers, contrasting ruins with recollections of modernism to commemorate German suffering, the Holocaust, and the industrial revolution, as well as new spaces for Islam in the country.

"The world-renowned Italian architect and critic Paolo Portoghesi explores the outstanding developments in Postmodernism worldwide during the past few years. The inspiration for his book was the Strada Novissima at the Venice Biennale in 1981, a streeet of structures designed for this occasion, a perfect symbol of Postmodernism. In these essays, all fully illustrated, Portoghesi offers a critical profile of the movement and explains why it constitutes a decive turnning point in the history of architecture. He reconstructs the theorertical intentions of postmodern architects, analyzes their built projects and outlines their prospects for the future. Included in his analysis are important projects by Philip Johnson, Cesar Pelli, Peter Eisenmann, Michael Graves, Thomas Beeby, Stanley Tigerman, Helmut Jahn, Ricardo Bofill, and Massimo Scolari, to name a few."
