Mediated messages: periodicals, exhibitions and the shaping of postmodern architecture

'Mediated Messages' presents a collection of original writing exploring the role played by the media in the development of postmodern architecture in the 1970s and 80s.

The book's 12 chapters and case-studies examine a range of contemporary periodicals and exhibitions to explore their role in the postmodern.

This focus on mediation as a key feature of architectural post-modernism and the recognition that post-modernism grew out of developments in the media, opens up the possibility of an important new account of post-modernism distinct from existing narratives.
