Digital Model

I designed a unique building using the qualities of postmodern architecture that I already learned about. I used Google Sketch up to bring this design to life. It helped me figure out all of the dimensions and the actual layout of the building before a made a real model.

Some noticeable postmodern qualities that the building possesses are the simple shapes, bright colors and references to previous eras of architecture. Postmodernism is well known for taking shapes and boiling them down to their simplest forms. The shapes of the three parts of the building really exemplify that characteristic. The colors of the building are also immediately obvious. Unlike the modern era that came before it, postmodernism embraced the beauty of architecture and did whatever they wanted when it came to making the building ascetically pleasing. The columns under the connecting pathways are inspired by those used by the Romans and Greeks. Postmodern architects brought back many elements that were previously done away with, such as columns.
