520 _aThe A+U March 1981 Special Edition: "American Architecture: After Modernism" is a landmark publication that captures the critical moment when American design was officially moving away from High Modernism. Guest-edited by influential architect and historian Robert A. M. Stern, the volume serves as a comprehensive visual and critical document of the Postmodern (PoMo) sensibility and other contemporary movements. It features an array of American architects and firms who were championing a return to historical reference, ornament, contextuality, and narrative in their work. The publication helped to define and disseminate the projects of a generation of architects, many of whom would become leading global figures in the subsequent decades.
