Aims and Objectives To begin by establishing the Modern and Postmodern styles and characteristics of Architecture and more importantly, how and why they came about.
To Show how Ouseburn Valley has been affected by the changing styles of Architecture.
To illustrate how and why society’s view of the world has changed with the regeneration of Ouseburn Valley. Intentions. I will progress to evaluate the effects of this change by considering the following questions:
Material change results in special change. Thus, how do our interpretations of space and time alter with the shift from modernism to postmodernism?
Furthermore, how does this affect the way we act with respect to the world?
How does our view of knowledge and reality change as a consequence of Postmodernism? Sources. The key source for my investigation will be David Harvey’s Condition of Postmodernity. In addition to this, I will refer to: Fredric Jameson – Postmodernism, or, the cultural logic of late capitalism. Perry Anderson – The Origins of Postmodernity. Jean-Francois Lyotard – The postmodern condition.
