Postmodernism

First published in 2017 as Revisiting Postmodernism, this refreshed edition of a seminal text reflects on a design movement that changed our world. Postmodernism invites readers to explore the style in a new light, as the cultural phenomenon that it is, one which thrives on complexity and pluralism.

Sir Terry Farrell CBE is an award-winning international architect and town planner and was one of the pioneers of the postmodern style. Adam Nathaniel Furman is an artist and designer who trained in architecture, and who works in spatial design and art of all scales from video and prints, to large-scale public artworks, architecture, architecturally integrated ornament, as well as products, furniture, interiors, publishing and academia.
