This document provides an overview of postmodern architectural history and theory from the late modern period in the 1960s through developments in the 1970s and beyond. It discusses key architects and projects that questioned modernist tenets like form following function, including Robert Venturi's rejection of modernism as "boring." It also covers Charles Jencks declaring the "death of modern architecture" in 1972 when the Pruitt-Igoe housing project was demolished, and the rise of pluralism, metaphor, and deconstruction in postmodern thought. The document traces the evolution of postmodernism and its rejection of universal styles in favor of multiple approaches.
