Concept Post-modernism is a return to contextual design and a rejection that there is a universal language of buildings irrespective of their location. Rejection of the notion that complexity of form is valueless because it is whimsical. Whimsy, Irony and realism characterize larger buildings. Ironic and latent classicism

5
Early post-modern expressions Lincoln Center--acoustic creativity. 1960- 64 Used as early as 1962 when an art deco motif is continued in new construction. In designing a new wing for the Boston Public library Philip Johnson maintains same materials and formal characters. Allusion to the past. Early done with form and materials but ultimately has led back to an inclusion of ornamentation. Interior courtyards (Beaux Arts allusion?) again popular. Hyatt Regency. No academic use of past. Only as allusive value.
