Architecture, the first discipline to reject Modernism, ushered in the era of Postmodernism. Using numerous examples drawn from the U.S. and Britain, this program seeks to define a movement that is perhaps best characterized by an anything-goes plurality that mixes elements of high and pop culture. Charles Jencks, author of What Is Post-Modernism?; renowned architect Frank Gehry; Alice Rawsthorn, architecture critic for the Financial Times; and others look at the contributions of 20th-century visionaries such as Robert Venturi, Andy Warhol, Jacques Derrida, and Kazuo Ishiguro to the development of Postmodernism.
