Summary Postmodernism was an important form in the development of art in the late 20th century and has influenced many fields to this day. It strongly opposes the various views of modernism and insists on the diversity of formal development, which can be said to be a mixture of styles"Miscellaneous"meaning. Especially in postmodernist architecture, a variety of different forms and styles of architecture Through various elements of architecture, we can feel the architectural semantics reflected by architects, as well as their design style Introduction to Postmodernist Architectural Style:
Since the 60s of the 20th century, there has been a trend of thought in the United States and Western Europe that opposes or corrects modernist architecture. After the end of World War II, modernist architecture became the dominant architectural trend in many parts of the world. However, divisions soon arose within the modernist architectural camp, with some skeptical and critical of modernist architectural views and styles.
In 1966, the American architect Venturi put forward a set of architectural theories and propositions that were in direct opposition to modernist architecture in his book "The Complexity and Contradiction of Architecture", which caused a stir and response in the architectural world, especially among young architects and architecture students. By the 70s of the twentieth century, there was a stronger tendency in the architectural world to oppose and deviate from modernism. There have been different terms for this tendency, such as "anti-modernism", "post-modernism" and "postmodernism", the latter being used more broadly.

1. Emphasize tradition and historicism. Aged reed.
Now we can say that there are many different understandings of tradition, which has led to different styles of postmodernist architects, and by tradition we mean not only the basic characteristics of traditional architecture, but also the traditional architectural symbols that have been abstracted and personalized. However, some architects understand tradition as something with characteristics in national culture, so they tend to grasp it from the spirit of traditional culture. Theoretically, postmodernism has a tendency to gradually introduce historicism.
2. Respect the existing environment.
This is mainly reflected in the emphasis on the local characteristics and "context" of the building. It can be seen that postmodernism's respect for the existing environment is based on a reflection on modernist architecture. Modernism emphasizes the importance and expressiveness of a single building, while postmodernism minimizes its prominence in the environment and blends in with the environment as much as possible to create a rich streetscape and even an urban landscape.
But this is by no means to completely bury yourself, but to achieve a deeper attraction and express yourself. This integration with the environment is one of the best features of postmodern architecture, and this is how most architectural designs come about.
3. Radical eclecticism.
Because postmodernist architecture needs to meet the needs of all aspects at the same time, without wanting to lose the style of the era and the personality of the author, the works often show the phenomenon of patchwork of various styles. Here, postmodernism embodies a more prominent eclecticism, which is quietly and mainly in relation to the exciting great practice of modernism. Postmodernism pursues the dual understanding of celebrities and the public, taking into account both historical style and modern style, and the eclectic style formed by it is radical and uncertain.
