@GeibelJoey couldn't have said it better.

@e_berge22 Post-Modernism is tricky to define due to the variety that it consists of. However, this is a great overall description.

[alanakunkler @alanakunkler]

@AbigailBulmahn I think this question is hard to answer. It could be quite different because there are architectural creations that occurred due to the failure of Modernism.

@DylanFruchey I would say that there are multiple "captains" some leading more than others in different subcategories of modernism.

"The architects, ... during the 1990s, refer to the way the complexity paradigm introduces an alternative to repetitive Modernism, allowing a 'differentiated facade with coherent continuity'" (Post-Modernism Resurgent). #architecturalhistory

[alanakunkler @alanakunkler]

When referring to "The Perfect Storm of Post-Modernism," "'Perfect' meant a rare combination of things that came into focus at the same time, a confluence of various events" (Post-Modernism Resurgent?). #architecturalhistory

[alanakunkler @alanakunkler]

"The typical Post-Modern building speaks on several levels at once, to high and low culture, and acknowledges the global situation where no single culture can speak for the entire world" (Post-Modernism Resurgent?). #architecturalhistory

[alanakunkler @alanakunkler]

"When Post-Modernism was defines in the other arts, sciences and cultural forms, it was understood as 'subversion from within' the establishment, using the reigning voice to send a different message" (What is Radical Post-Modernism). #architecturalhistory

[alanakunkler @alanakunkler]

"but 'Sir, why should your backside be a luxurious as your front?'"

Thoughts? Do you think the backside is/should be as important as the front?

(What is Radical Post-Modernism?). #architecturalhistoryQ

"These skyscrapers may be commercial metaphors, very late capitalist and very overbearing, but they do seek to communicate their dumb metaphors as iconic buildings" (What is Radical Post-Modernism?). #architecturalhistory

@RenschenTyler I like to include interior green spaces along with an abundance of glazing in order to better connect the interior design to the exterior landscape.

“This reversal of normal processes opens the way for a new hybrid urbanism, with dense clusters of activity and the reconstruction of the natural ecology, starting more ecologically balanced, inner-city urban form in the void” (Shane). #architecturalhistory

[alanakunkler @alanakunkler]

“defines the landscape very broadly as a mosaic of ‘the total spatial and visual entity of human living space’ that integrates the environment, living systems, and the manmade” (Shane). #architecturalhistory

[alanakunkler @alanakunkler]

“As Schumacher and Rogner write, the extension of this dispersed system ‘fueled the rapid decompression of urban industrial cities and the decentralization of both mass production and mass consumption’” (Shane). #architecturalhistory

[alanakunkler @alanakunkler]

@JeremiahMaltee yet some architects do the opposite, outside and inside contrast each other

[alanakunkler @alanakunkler]

@WojcikPaige and this is how new and unique architecture is created

[alanakunkler @alanakunkler]

@Charlie21722222 what's architecture without an occasional challenging of traditional values?

[alanakunkler @alanakunkler]

@e_berge22 I find this very interesting that designs can begin as large as a city and narrow down to the chair, within the room, within the building, within the city

[alanakunkler @alanakunkler]

@beccab_323 I think it would depend if the simple and clean architecture means taking a minimalist approach, if so, then I would argue that it depends on the user if it would be most effective.
