Is Postmodernism Dead?

"Most architects old enough to remember the ’80s are possessed of an intense, dare we say irrational, dislike of postmodernism. Never mind that as a theoretical concept postmodernism encompasses far more than the classically derived architectural style, and that in other disciplines it is alive and well. Never mind that according to this broader definition most architects are still designing in a conceptually postmodern manner. Never mind that many of the architectural movement’s protagonists are still active, and that while some of their number have rewritten history and revised their design strategies to exclude any stylistic hint of postmodernism, just as many haven’t changed a thing. Never mind, because to architects, “pomo” is a four-letter word."
