From the Paper:
"Both modernism and postmodernism are reactions to change, with modernism reacting to the rapidity of technological and social change at the end of the nineteenth century, while postmodernism is a reaction to the social uniformity of modernism. Again, each makes a statement in a certain way because it has been made possible to make statements in just that way. Postmodernism is a restatement of the private and personal after the modernist era of the social and public. When Harvey cites the technological changes contributing to the development of postmodernism, he is citing the changes that permitted the artist to shape material for personal tastes and individual needs (Harvey 66). In this sense, and with reference to architecture, the postmodernist shapes public space in a certain way because he or she can so shape it."More papers on Modernism and Postmodernism:
