For a century, Phaidon has set the standard for illustrated books on art and design, publishing authoritative surveys and monographs that shape how we understand the creative world. Each title is the result of years of research and collaboration with leading scholars, resulting in a body of work as intellectually serious as it is visually spectacular.

Written by architectural historian Owen Hopkins, this 224-page hardcover surveys the postmodern movement’s most exuberant buildings, from Michael Graves’s Portland Building to James Stirling’s Neue Staatsgalerie, taking its title from Robert Venturi’s famous riposte to modernist orthodoxy. It makes a spirited case for a style long dismissed as excessive, a colourful, opinionated reference for anyone drawn to architecture that refuses to take itself too seriously.
