This capture from the book name “Complexity and Contradiction in architecture “has a controversy idea from Mie’s doctrine “Less is more”. This book give introduction to the new coming era where the architecture was no longer depends on the modern language of purification and simplification, but rather the complexity and contradiction in architecture; the multiple languages based on the vagueness of modern experience. This coming style is called " Post-modernism ".
Post-modernism is obviously the movement after Modernism era.It emerged out as it attempt to break and become isolate from "boredom" which created from the idea of perfection where architectures are following the set of rules and restriction. In my opinion , Architecture of modernism can be view only one dimension, which means that it should be either black or white or either-or. Architecture create to be interpret only one side of thought due to perfection and pureness of architecture that reveal "truth".On the contrary, post-modernism try to break away from the perfection and restriction of particular context. The architecture become involve and rely on the multiple factors which make one see and interpret in different way according to their experiences. It allows architecture to be read in more dimension view points according to individual. It reflect contradict idea of modernism by partiality in "both-and", neither choose black or white ,but rather "grey" which dancing between their gap.
In addition, Post - modernism also tend to break away from the perfection and purity in their form. The buildings are not depend on the pure form, symmetrical , materials reveal the truth anymore ; function become less concerned to the architect unlike modernism where every elements play the parts of becoming an architect; "Form follows function".
The example that we can clearly see the " Mother House "by Robert Venturi .
-painted rather leave with true colour of materials.
-impure geometry
- in the upper part - pipe offset which make the building become asymmetrical
- the middle part that carved out does not perform the function, just ornament.
- the windows at both side of the house are not the same
we can conclude that " FORM DOES NOT FOLLOW THE FUNCTION "
