Wasn't Charles Jencks the one who introduced the term "postmodernism" into
architecture in 1975 ?

"Die Sprache der postmodernen Architektur. Die Entstehung einer alternativen
Tradition", Stuttgart 1980.

"The Rise of Post-Modern Architecture", in:
*Architecture -- Inner Town Government*, Eindhoven 1975, and: *Architecture
Association Quarterly*, No. 4, 1975.

"Theories and Manifestoes of Contemporary Architecture", 1997, John Wiley &
Sons; ISBN: 0471976873

And for this guy Jencks is the major "witness":
Wolfgang Welsch: "Undoing Aesthetics (Theory, Culture and Society),"
November 1997, Sage Publications; ISBN: 0761955941

"Waste is Good" (Geoffrey Miller:

"The Mating Mind : How Sexual Choice Shaped the Evolution of Human Nature",
2001)
Anchor Books; ISBN: 038549517X)
