In Britain it was closely associated with the economic boom of the 1980s. After a period out of favour, the 2011 exhibition \u2018Style and Subversion\u2019 at the V&amp;A marked a revival of interest in Post-Modernism.<\/p>\n<p>The style was an important strand of late 20th century architecture, but Post-Modern buildings can be vulnerable to change and loss which is why the best examples have been selected for listing.<\/p>\n<p>Duncan Wilson, Chief Executive of Historic England, said: \u2018Post-Modern architecture brought fun and colour to our streets. Housing schemes were enlivened with bold fa\u00e7ades, a school technology building was decorated with columns designed as screws, a business park injected with glamour. These are scarce survivals of a really influential period of British architecture and these buildings deserve the protection that listing gives them.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/historicengland.org.uk\/whats-new\/news\/Post-Modern-Buildings-Listed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a> and see the complete list<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Historic England (HE) has listed 17 bold, playful, brightly coloured post-modern buildings of the late 1970\u2019s to 1990\u2019s across six categories: culture, housing, education, civic, commercial and law, and ranging from Crown Courts in Cornwall to warehouses in Slough and &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/?p=19138\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19138","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sector-newsblog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19138","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=19138"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19138\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19140,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19138\/revisions\/19140"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=19138"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=19138"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=19138"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
