Post Modern, Modern What 's next ?!

      Language is the method of human communication, either spoken or written, consisting of the use of words in a structured and conventional. Representation is the way the language represent itself.  You cannot said that this language is bad or good. Meaning change and transform of language from one meaning to other meaning is occurred through time. Architecture is like a language. It could transformable and adaptable. Change in architecture From Egyptian to Greek and Roman, Post modern to Modern. It is like a change in language. It is still language with try to communicate to people in different way and different element.


     Post-modern being from the 1950s, however it is not yet a style until 1970s. 
"Postmodern architecture has also been described as "neo-eclectic", where reference and ornament have returned to the facade, replacing the aggressively unornamented modern styles." In Post-modern, according to Venturi "Architects can bemoan or try to ignore them (referring to the ornamental and decorative elements in buildings) or even try to abolish them, but they will not go away. Or they will not go away for a long time, because architects do not have the power to replace them (nor do they know what to replace them with)."


     Ornamental and decorative is necessary for communication. It give the meaning of the building to the public There is no one meaning. Communication can be interpreted in many way so does architecture. The good architecture for post-modern should have many dimensions and layering of meanings.
