Kurzbeschreibung
Charles Jencks, the definer of Post-Modernism for thirty years, discusses contemporary issues, while the young British architects FAT (Sean Griffiths, Charles Holland and Sam Jacob) argue for a particular version of Radical Post-Modernism (RPM). Their recent work and that of similar practices sets the tone of this return to an alternative architecture, with articles on the UK's leading proponents of RPM. An interview between Rem Koolhaas and Charles Jencks discusses Post-Modernism's influence while investigations of street art, graffiti, and the 1980 Venice Biennale reveal communication at the heart of this radical architecture.
In this latest issue of Architectural Design the guest editors are drawn, like the content, from contrasting tastes and generations. Charles Jencks, the definer of Post-Modernism for thirty years, discusses some issues that have re-emerged today, while the young group of British architects, FAT, argues for a particular version of RPM. An interview between Rem Koohaas and Charles Jencks discusses the influence of Post-Modernism while investigations of street art, graffiti and the 1980 Venice Biennale show that communication is at the heart of this radical strain of architecture.
* This issue brings together an unlikely and exciting pairing of guest-editors: internationally acclaimed critic Charles Jencks, whose name became synonymous with Post-modernism in the 80s, and the dynamic architectural group, FAT.
* Features work by: ARM, Atelier Bow Wow, Édouard François, FOA, Rem Koolhaas, John and Valerio Olgiati.
