UTOPIA’S GHOST Architecture and Postmodernism, Again

why postmodernism, yet again? Is it not either too late or too early,too academic or too obvious, to return to that moment when architecture was taken up by so many thinkers for its evidentiary status, as marking
a momentous interruption, or at least detour, in modernity’s path? Today, when the conversation has turned in so many ways toward the prolongation,
recovery, or multiplication of modernity itself, what would be the point of reactivating a term as vague and as apparently exhausted as postmodernity or its cultural
accomplice, postmodernism?
