This might very well end up being a thread just for @Arenacale and I to geek out over the architecture, designs and AESTHETIC of our younger years, aka the 1980s-90s, and that's okay! Totally no need to be defensive about this topic or anything! Postmodernism deserves a little respect too, right? Or is it the Rodney Dangerfield of styles and it can't ever get no respeck?!

To start things off, here's a bunch of screenshots I grabbed nearly two years ago when I discovered the vast trove of archives of architectural magazines OVER HERE. Architecture Magazine used to be the official AIA publication, and as such its pages are chock full of great writing, great photographs, and wonderfully evocative ads as well. I grabbed a very random collection based purely on my whims, and that's how I'm gonna present them here.

And to wrap things up, you can't have some Pomo without some Michael Graves 🤡
