Postmodernism means literally "after the modern." It means many different things to many different people. Postmodernism is not a school, it's an attempt to label many different things going on at the same time.
Understand that postmodernism rejects the idea of the autonomous individual and objectivity in favor of the anarchic collective and subjectivity. There is no one theory or perspective that defines everything; there are many sets of ideas (particularly about what is beautiful), all of which are equally valid.
Know that, inherently, postmodernism is contradictory and defies definition

Il 6 aprile 2016 gli Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox, la rivelazione swing americana già fenomeno di Youtube grazie alla cover di Miley Cyrus “We can’t stop”, saranno in concerto in Italia all’Alcatraz di Milano, per l’unica tappa italiana del tour.
Un fenomeno ormai mondiale, con 200 Milioni di visualizzazioni su Youtube e 1 Milione di iscritti al canale.
Un tour che parte nel 2015 dagli Stati Uniti passando per l’Asia ed approdando in Europa nel 2016 con oltre 80 date confermate. Immaginate canzoni di Beyoncé, Britney Spears or Taylor Swift riportate indietro di 70-80 anni…
Gli Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox (o PMJ, come ormai vengono chiamati in tutto il mondo) sono una mini-big band swing a tutti gli effetti, ma con qualcosa in più: uniscono il perfetto stile “d’epoca” ai brani moderni di Beyoncé, Britney Spears, White Stripes o Taylor Swift rielaborandoli come se fossero arrangiati per Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland o Nina Simone. I PMJ colmano il divario tra le generazioni, suonando melodie a tutti familiari con arrangiamenti che intrigano tutte le età.
The postmodern side of Homerton College. Apparantly the college was designed to reflect the modernist vs postmodernist developments in education. The architecture reflects the tension between them. Pictured here is a sample of the post-modernist influence on the design.

Sleeeeeeeaze it Large and Dark my friends.
For some reason every time I see this place the song Post Modern Sleaze by the popular beat combo Sneaker Pimps (one of the best things to come out of Hartlepool) comes to mind. As a background you may consider a view of their pop video for this catchy ditty. The images in the video have absolutely nothing to do with the picture here - the music's more the point.
Anyway so here we have back at 200 Aldersgate, the empty freaky building which straddles Montague Street in a view much familiar to fellow Flickrites, particularly funkyuk.
Formerly the home of Clifford Chance, one of the City's giant law firms, the building was first conceived in the early 1980's by Fitzroy Robinson as a landmark to go at the end of London Wall. True to the times the design oozes "Thatcher era" 1980's motifs (think pink marble, steel and glass, bold thrusting towers) and is one of those buildings which is a stereotype of those times.
Being of a certain vintage I feel obliged to include a chant of Thatcher, Thatcher - milk snatcher. Chanting this will be the law whenever Maggie's name is mentioned come the revolution (Up the 2nd Revolutionary Front - 2RF forever!).
Meanwhile class... the building consists of two arms at right angles with the apex of the corner above Montague Street - rather bizarrely there's a vaste glass atrium which fills this corner and extends up to the roofline like half a giant pyramid.
The arms themselves are equally as exotic with each consisting of what appear to be towers, each of three windows width, extending to various heights. One could hypothesise that this is a nod to the Barbican and the idea of a castle in The City. The general trend of the towers is to gain height from left to right, culminating in a giant, thrusting, dark tower just to the right of this view - the upper floors in this case are not clad in pink marble (Pink... Marble. Lummee) but instead are a gloomy black. To add to the air of dispondency the upper floors are plant rooms.
Why build a tower for plant rooms? A mystery.
There is a feel that the design tries really hard to be sympathetic to the Brutalist elements of the surroundings... but at the end of the day it just can't help being a monument to 1980's glam, even to the extent that the towers used to have little illuminated globes on the corners.
Clifford Chance fled in 2003 leaving the building empty - it's been redeveloped as an office-cum-residential-cum-restaurant-type-thing which is highly curious. To be honest you can't help feel that it's still not made up it's mind as to it's destiny, and I wish it would get on with it.
So as the building deals with it's identity crisis I'll leave you to tap your feet to the tones of the Sneaker Pimps and...
...enjoy
Here I wanna make some postmodern concept with irony and reference. As base was taken Ellen von Unwerth photo "peaches".

The first among several resorts in Egypt designed by MGA, the Miramar Hotel in El Gouna established site plan strategies and a design vocabulary that were carried through several subsequent projects, the Sheraton Miramar, built on a jewel-like cluster of nine islands, surrounded by lagoons and sandy beaches, is a 5-star resort hotel consisting of over 400 guest rooms and public spaces. Dramatically sited on the Red Sea, the Miramar was designed to maximize water views and enhance the visitor experience.
