Summary: Radical Post-Modernism (RPM) marks the resurgence of a critical architecture that engages in a far-reaching way with issues of taste, space, character and ornament. Bridging high and low cultures, it immerses itself in the age of information, embracing itself in the dirty politics of taste by drawing ideas from beyond the narrow confines of architecture. It is a multidimensional, amorphous category, which is heavily influenced by contemporary art, cultural theory, modern literature and everyday life. This title of AD demonstrates how, in the age of late capitalism, radical post-modernism can provide an architecture of resistance and contemporary relevance, forming a much-needed antidote to the prevailing cult of anodyne modernism and the vacuous spatial gymnastics of the so-called digital 'avant-garde'.
