This series explores three significant periods in architectural history—Gothic Revival (July 24), Brutalism (July 31), and Postmodernism (August 7). Noted experts discuss the physical characteristics of each movement and how culture, politics, and technical innovations are reflected in the architecture of those times. Presenters also provide information on how to give a self-guided tour of local examples of each type of architecture.

Postmodernism

The Postmodern movement in architecture embraced “wit, ornament, and historical reference” in response to the formalism  of the International Style of modernism. Roger K. Lewis, FAIA, architect, planner, professor emeritus at the University of Maryland School of Architecture, and author of the “Shaping the City” column in The Washington Post, draws on his years of writing to discuss this reactionary approach to architecture. 1.5 LU (AIA)
