The New Paradigm in Architecture The Language of Post-Modern Architecture is a book on the then emergent postmodern architecture by Charles Jencks first published in 1977 by Academy Editions.
The book's most frequently quoted soundbite is ""Modern architecture suffered from elitism.
Post-Modernism is trying to get over that elitism not by dropping it, but rather by extending the language of architecture in many different ways —into the vernacular, towards tradition and the commercial slang of the street. Hence the double-coding, the architecture which speaks to the elite and the man on the street."
