It begins by explaining Robert Venturi's critique of modern architecture in his 1966 book "Complexity and Contradiction in Modern Architecture" and his concept of "puritanical moral language." It then provides examples of two Australian architects, Glenn Murcutt and the firm McBride Charles Ryan, who incorporated postmodern concepts. The document concludes by explaining how postmodern architecture rejected the dogmatism of modernism through historical citations and ornamentation.
