Check out The Pomo Group

[David Morris]

Postmodernism has been out of favor in architecture for nearly ten years.  
Other "isms" (such as deconstructionism) have shown up since, but with much 
less impact.  Postmodernism's main and longest-lasting impact in 
architecture has been to open up the rules, allowing all kinds of influences 
previously taboo to Modern architecture.  That openness still prevails, but 
a lot of really bad PoMo architecture has soured architects on PoMo.  The 
pendulum has swung back toward the formal rigour of Modernism, but without 
the doctrinaire rhetoric.
