Postmodernism-Expressionism

From modernism, we may have heard much on functionalism of "form follows function" the designs have turned out so intelligent on the interior and details, but so simple that normal people may not notice as a great piece of design or find something interesting especially from outside. For postmodernism, the principle turned up side down. Venturi made the literally difference through "Learning from Las Vegas" where he talked about "duck building" which is completely opposite from "form follows function". 










Then postmodernism has worked together with expressions. The feature of the building has moved to exterior and the simplicity has moved inside the building. We can see this kind of design on Frank Gehry's buildings. For example, The Guggenheim in Bilbao can be seen and remembered because of its expressive exterior in both form and material. For me, I think nowadays this kind of architecture is more successful in terms of accessing people. This kind of postmodern architecture can attract people from different careers because of its outstanding look. They may not understand the concept or care what is in the building. While some modern buildings are attractive only to those who study and understand the concept inside.
