Post-Modernism

In architecture, the term Post-Modernism connotes the break with the canons of International Style modernism. Functionalism and emphasis on the expression of structure are rejected in favor of a greater freedom of design. There is a new interplay of contemporary forms and materials, with frequent historic allusions, often ironic, as for example in the use of non-supporting classic columns, medieval arches and even port-holes. Post-Modernism also accepts the manifestations of commercial mass culture: bright colors, neon lights, and advertising signs of the Las Vegas type. Most influential for the formulation of a post-modernist program were the writings of Robert Venturi. The A.T.&T. building in New York by Philip Johnson and John Burgee can be considered one of the earliest major examples of Post-Modernist architecture.
