Do you consider yourself a modernist or postmodernist, and why?

Question

I do not know where I stand on this issue and need help deciding. any common beliefs to each class?

Answer 1

There is no longer such a thing as a modernist. One who "chooses" to be a modernist is still a post modernist. All the modernists are dead, or converted.

This is because post modernism is about the insertion of a methodology, an ism, an aesthetic, a perspective or a credo.

The fact that you're asking this question means you're deciding which "ism" to insert...classical post modernism!

Answer 2

I'm a modernism especially in my believes and concepts about the architecture. The true modernism is a rethinking of the past knowledge. Postmodernist is the acceptance of the failure of modernist ideas in some way with reason if you look at the disastrous "International Style" that create insipid anti-contextual buildings. The modernism is a sincere movement full of creativity and innovation. The postmodernism is a kind of mannerism using the past as the answer to the future.

Answer 3

Because my outlook falls in between the two yet more frequently tends to embody a slightly larger proportion of the tenants associated with the latter than the former I am characterized as a neo-pre-postmodernist.
