Beschreibung:
Geraint Franklin is an architectural historian from Historic England. He is the author of a forthcoming book on the firm Howell Killick Partridge & Amis. It will be published in June 2017 in collaboration with RIBA and the Twentieth Century Society.
In a move away from Brutalist architecture that is characterised by a lack of aesthetics, as 'form followed function', Postmodern architecture instead heralded a return to 'wit, ornament and reference' adopting both modern and classic designs. The functional and utilitarian shapes and spaces of the modernist style were replaced by diverse aesthetics, including the use of sculptural forms and ornaments, but does not exclude the needs of those using the building.
