What’s the HIDDEN meaning in these crazy buildings? Postmodernism | Alternative Architecture

What’s the real meaning behind these crazy buildings? Are they total chaos? Or pure genius? Join Reece Davey, V&A East's resident architecture aficionado, as he delves in to one of the most fun and experimental design styles: Postmodernism (aka Pomo). Architecture after World War II rejected ornamentation and classical styles, seeing tradition as the enemy of societal improvement. Modernist movements like Bauhaus and Brutalism totally focussed on the function of a building: simple, clean designs with very little decoration. But what happened when, in the late 1970s, a group of architects grew tired of this ‘less is more’ approach and decided that ‘less is a BORE’?! And how can we decode hidden the meaning and symbols in their buildings? To tell the story, Reece takes us from Marcel Duchamp’s famous urinal – the first conceptual artwork – to a colourful East London sewage station, via glamorous west London homes (stay tuned for tour of Charles Jencks’ legendary pomo home, The Cosmic House), controversial offices, funky government buildings, colourful apartments, caricature skyscrapers, not to mention buildings shaped like cats, dogs, binoculars, baskets, Greek columns and more.

Reece Davey is a content creator and architecture graduate with a mission to make architecture fun and accessible for all. In each episode of his new series, 'Reece’s Alternative Architecture', he offers his own unique take on 20th century architectural history.
