Description:
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.
