Architecture in a Changing World: The New Rhetoric of Form
Changes in architectural style can be understood as, among other things, a form of social change and can be subsumed under the study of such change as it has evolved from the dialectical notions of the ancient Greeks up to the theories of nineteenth- and twentieth-century philosophers and social scientists. Such a framework would view the culture of postmodernism and its accompanying artistic and architectural styles in part as a response to political-economic changes occurring in the late twentieth century. Thus terms such as uncertainty and ambiguity would be seen to represent more than subjective variations in cultural style, and the dialectical role of architecture in constructing reality would also have to be given greater importance.
