In The Story of Post-Modernism, Charles Jencks, the
authority on Post-Modern architecture and culture, provides the
defining account of Post-Modern architecture from its earliest
roots in the early 60s to the present day. By breaking the
narrative into seven distinct chapters, which are both
chronological and overlapping, Jencks charts the ebb and flow of
the movement, the peaks and troughs of different ideas and themes.
* The book is highly visual. As well as providing a chronological
account of the movement, each chapter also has a special feature on
the major works of a given period.
* The first up-to-date narrative of Post-Modern Architecture -
other major books on the subject were written 20 years ago.
* An accessible narrative that will appeal to students who are
new to the subject, as well as those who can remember its heyday in
the 70s and 80s.
