Post-Modern Architecture – 'More is More'



Historic England

Post-Modern architecture emerged in the 1970s as a critical reaction to Modernism. In Britain it was closely associated with the economic boom of the 1980s. The style was an important strand of late 20th century architecture, but Post-Modern buildings can be vulnerable to change and loss which is why the best examples have been selected for listing. In this film, three leading architects of the era, Piers Gough, Sir Terry Farrell and John Outram look back on the era and talk about their inspirations.

  1. Modern architecture is a lot of theory for ugly buildings. And post modern architecture is the same but with added cynicism.

  2. Postmodernist architecture gives me a sort of uneasiness. Almost like a dystopian government trying to ease the depressed populace with the abstract, 'fun' form.

  3. I might not like all postmodernism with flashy, colourful pop symbols, but I do love how they are at least making buildings more classical – more substance and and ornament that is actually pretty warming to the soul. Unlike the pure minimalist modern international style, which (in my opinion) mostly makes people see themselves weak and depressed.

    Very inspiring.
