Free Architecture Tour: Postmodern London

The 4th walk in my architectural walk series- Postmodern Architecture!

Postmodernism is an eclectic, colourful style of architecture and the decorative arts that appeared from the late 1970s and continues in some form today.

It emerged as a reaction to Modernism and the Modern Movement and the dogmas associated with it. By the 1970s Modernism had begun to seem elitist and exclusive, despite its democratic intentions. The failure of building methods and materials (shown in the collapse of Ronan Point, a tower block in east London in 1968) and alienating housing estates was a focus for architects and critics in the early 1970s.

Features of this-
Bright Colours, playfulness, Variety of materials and shapes, classical motifs, etc.

London offers an excellent selection of these so do join me in a walk about.
C. 10 miles walking, pub and chat at the end.
