The Story of Post-Modernism: Five Decades of Architecture Charles Jencks 978-0-470-68896-0 / 0-470-68896-3 272 pp. Pub: 09/09/11 In The Story of Post-Modernism, Charles Jencks, the authority on Post-Modern architecture and culture, provides the defining account of Post-Modern architecture from its earliest roots in the early 60s to the present day.

Narrative Architecture Nigel Coates 978-0-470-05745-2 / 0-470-05745-9 168 pp. Pub: 13/12/11 To architects the enduring attraction of narrative is that it offers a way of engaging with the way a city feels and works. Rather than reducing architecture to mere style or an overt emphasis on technology, it foregrounds the experiential dimension of architecture. In practice it is just as easy to be minimalist as maximalist in its execution. Nigel Coates' Narrative Architecture is the first publication to look the subject in the eye. It deals with its background, analysis and practice as well as its future development.
