As described earlier, Postmodern ar

As described earlier, Postmodern architecture is a reaction and evolution to the modern architecture that came before it. Not only did designers begin to make use of new innovations, but at the same time they appropriated design elements from the past. Buildings became an eclectic mix of old and new as the old "Form follows function" mantra was forgotten. One of the iconic postmodern examples is the Sony Building in New York City, which contains a classical broken pediment for its top and is often compared to a "Chippendale" cabinet.
