Postmodernism

Postmodernism is a term that can be used in almost all fields such as design, architecture, even writing. The way in which someone portrays postmodernism is based on their own feelings and experiences on the topic. Postmodernism is very individualistic and can be the exact opposite of what someone else believes.

The movie The Fountainhead, is a good example that i have learned from about postmodernism. An architect was creating gorgeous designs in a city that were very futuristic looking at the time that looked like a giant leap in architecture. The companies that wanted his buildings wanted him to change them to look more like the buildings that already exist in the city but he wouldn't allow anyone to change his designs because they were his. He wanted change and his designs were revolutionary, the world just wasn't ready for them yet. The public wanted the same designs to be done over and over but the architect, Howard Roark, wanted completely new ones. His designs were the exact opposite of the previous, a characteristic of postmodernism.
