Behind the Postmodern Facade: Architectural Change in Late Twentieth-Century America

This study explores how architecture "happens" and what has become of the profession in the postmodern era. Drawing on interviews with pivotal architects - from Philip Johnson to Peter Eisenman, it analyzes the complex tensions that exist between economic interest, professional status and architectural product.
