This lecture focuses on Postmodernism and its reaction against the perceived rigidity and minimalism of Modernism. It explains how Postmodern architects reintroduced ornament, symbolism, historical references, and communication into architecture. Concepts such as Free Style Classicism, Historical Recall, Applied Ornament, Symbolic Form, and Double Coding are discussed in detail. The lecture highlights key examples like the Vanna Venturi House by Robert Venturi, Piazza d’Italia by Charles Moore, works of Michael Graves, Hans Hollein, and Arata Isozaki, showing how Postmodernism mixes history with modern materials and technology. It also introduces the idea of Radical Eclecticism, where multiple styles are thoughtfully combined based on context, function, and user culture, making architecture expressive, layered, and communicative rather than purely functional.
