Jencks, Charles

Language of Post Modern Architecture - New York Rizzoli 1991 - 26.67 x 2.54 x 31.75 cm

A classic account which, when written in 1977, was the first to define post-modernism in architecture, an event which led to subsequent adoption of the term in many other fields. It is the story of the failure of modern architecture to communicate with its users and the attempt of post-modernists to overcome this failure with a richer, more widely shared language--post-modern classicism. This edition (5th in 1987) brings the account, and the great illustrations, up to date.
