“Modernists made structure and construction into a repressed ornament ... they wrap their whole building with exuberant ‘affect’,” (What is Radical Post-Modernism? | Jencks). #architecturalhistory

@DylanFruchey A captain of post modernism? I believe there were great architects during this period in time and to be flat out honest I can't name one of them who would be the captain of this group.
@KeithCarrasqui2 I believe Post-modernism is not a form of modernism, but taken abstract elements and implemented this new idea. I therefore disagree with this statement because it is not an actual form from modernism
