Abstract
This chapter first discusses how modern architecture was cast aside by both architects and the public between 1965 and 1985. One of the reasons why modernism fell out of favor is its association of industry and engineering with progress, a notion that faded as people became more concerned about what is now known as sustainability and was then termed the environment. By the early 1980s, postmodernism eliminated modernism across Europe and the United States, except in isolated corners, such as Los Angeles, that claimed modernism as their only real heritage. The chapter then describes how projects such as the Vietnam War Memorial and the Jewish Museum in the 1980s helped pave the way for the resurgence of modernism, as seen in the Arab World Institute, designed by Jean Nouvel in Paris, 1981–87 and the Landschaftspark (landscape park), which opened in Duisburg, Germany in 1994.
