Designers are puzzled, sometimes, about whether their work is Modern, Postmodern or something else. This podcast is based on the Preface to Tom Turner's book, published in 1996, on City as Landscape: a post-Postmodern view of design and planning. It has short explanations of how Modernism, Postmodernism and post-Postmodernism have influenced urban design and landscape architecture - concluding with a wish that 'the city of tomorrow will shine as a feast of landscapes'. Tom recommends the Wikipedia entries on the three '-isms' for background information.
