  Postmodern architecture - with its return to ornamentality, historical quotation, and low-culture kitsch - has been seen as a critical and popular anodyne to the worst aspects of modernist architecture. This book examines a range of architectural phenomena such as theme parks, casinos, specific modernist and postmodernist buildings.
