Postmodern architecture, emerging in the late 20th century, combines classic and modern styles, focusing on creativity and cultural expression contrary to rigid architectural norms.
Robert Venturi's "Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture," published in 1966, marked a pivotal shift in architectural philosophy, emphasizing the celebration of classicism and vibrant design.
Postmodern architects like Philip Johnson and Frank Gehry advocate for unique designs, integrating ornamentation and eclectic styles, contrasting the modernist mantra of minimalism.
Postmodern architecture embraces intricate designs as creative expressions rather than adhering strictly to imposed rules, making it a form of cultural commentary.
