Post-Modernism is at its base a rejection of the Modernist principle that there are
objective truths. In Modernist architecture, this meant letting the function and materials provide and guide the aesthetics of the structure (See the Hancock Building or the IBM Building). Post-modernism rejects this, there are no finite rules and ornament/alluding to the past is acceptable.
