The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The movement was formally introduced by the architect and urban planner Denise Scott Brown and architectural theorist Robert Venturi in their 1972 book Learning from Las Vegas, building upon Venturi's "gentle manifesto" Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture, published by the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1966.
- Charles Jencks famously declared the "death" of modern architecture in his book The Language of Post-Modern Architecture in 1977.
- The style flourished from the 1980s through the 1990s, particularly in the work of Scott Brown & Venturi, Philip Johnson, Charles Moore and Michael Graves.
