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.  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFeatures work by: ARM, Atelier Bow Wow, Édouard François, FOA, Rem Koolhaas, John and Valerio Olgiati.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Editorial\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eHelen Castle\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 About the Guest-Editors\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eCharles Jencks, Sean Griffiths, Charles Holland and Sam Jacob\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Spotlight\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eVisual highlights of the issue\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e14 Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhat is Radical Post-Modernism?\u003cbr\u003e Charles Jencks\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePost-Modernism: An Incomplete Project\u003cbr\u003e Fat\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e24 Beyond the Flatline\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eSam Jacob\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e32 Radical Post-Modernism and Content: Charles Jencks and Rem Koolhaas debate the issue\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eJencks and Koolhaas exchange on Post-Modernism, preservation, the evil aura of the word ‘iconic’ and the Big Mac sandwich diagram.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e46 A Field Guide to Radical Post-Modernism\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eFat\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e62 Contextual Counterpoint\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eCharles Jencks\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e68 Virtual Corpses, Figural Sections and Resonant Fields\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eSean Griffiths\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e78 FAT Projects: Manifesting Radical Post-Modernism\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eFat\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e90 Questions of Taste\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eCharles Holland\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e98 Historicism versus Communication: The Basic Debate of the 1980 Biennale\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eLéa-Catherine Szacka The 1980 Venice Architecture Biennale brought Post-Modernism to the world’s attention, but also highlighted the tensions between historicism and communication.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e106 Too Good to Be True: The Survival of English Everyday PoMo\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eKester Rattenbury\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e114 The True Counterfeits of Banksy: Radical Walls of Complicity and Subversion\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eEva Branscome\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e122 Re-Radicalising Post-Modernism\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eFat\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e128 Counterpoint Not So Radical: An American Perspective\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eJayne Merkel\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eCharles Jencks\u003c\/b\u003e is an American architectural theorist, author and landscape architect.

Bridging high and low cultures, it immerses itself in the age of information, embracing meaning and communication, embroiling itself in the dirty politics of taste by drawing ideas from beyond the narrow confines of architecture. It is a multi-dimensional, amorphous category, which is heavily influenced by contemporary art, cultural theory, modern literature and everyday life. This title of AD demonstrates how, in the age of late capitalism, Radical Post-Modernism can provide an architecture of resistance and contemporary relevance, forming a much needed antidote to the prevailing cult of anodyne Modernism and the vacuous spatial gymnastics of the so-called digital 'avant-garde'.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eContributions from: Sean Griffiths, Charles Holland, Sam Jacob, Charles Jencks and Kester Rattenbury\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFeatured architects: ARM, Atelier Bow Wow, Crimson, CUP, FAT, FOA, Édouard François, Terunobu Fujimori, Hild und K, Rem Koolhaas, John Kormelling, muf, Valerio Olgiati.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Academy Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989905064165,"sku":"NP9780470669884","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780470669884.jpg?v=1761785863","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/radical-post-modernism-isbn-9780470669884","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
