Architects who, from the 1970s on, answered Modernism with Postmodern play and historical reference, Deconstructivist broken forms, or high-tech buildings that display their own structure and services. An architect belongs here when the cited article names one of these approaches. It excludes the earlier Modernist architects, who sit in the Modernist and Bauhaus group. These architects are placed by the approach the cited article names for them, not by the date of a building, since some worked in Modernist ways earlier in their careers and moved to these approaches later.
