A FRESH PERSPECTIVE
METAMODERNISM
INVESTIGATING THE
EXISTENCE OF
METAMODERNISM IN
LOCAL ARCHITECTURE
METAMODERNISMMODERNISM POSTMODERNISM
Arnfinn Bo-Rygg is a professor on aesthetics in Oslo University and wrote an essay What Modern Was: Art, Progress, and the Avant –Garde as well as others that were included in the book Tracing Modernity: Manifestations of the Modern in Architecture and the City
Modernism:
- Notion of the new, the future- Start of history (a distinction between
the old and new)- Separation from the old classical
trends
Charles Jencks designs landscapes and sculpture and writes on cosmogenic art. He is known for his books questioning Modern architecture and defining its successors – Late, New and Postmodern architecture, and is the co-founder of Maggie Cancer Caring Centers.

ARCHITECTURAL MODERNISM AND
POSTMODERNISM IN THE PHILIPPINES?
PH MODERNISM
OLD GSIS BUILDING, MANILA
(1952)
PHILAMLIFE THEATER
(1961)
PICACHE BUILDING
(MID-1950’s)
UP INTERNATIONAL CENTER
CHURCH OF THE HOLY SACRIFICE
CULTURAL CENTER OF THE PHILIPPINES
MAIN THEATER (1969)
PH POSTMODERNISM
NATIONAL ARTS CENTER (1976)
BAGUIO CONVENTION CENTER (1978)
COCONUT PALACE (1981)
PHILIPPINE POSTMODERNISM
- Pesimissm towards Modernism- Return to contextuality as opposed to the
impersonality of Modern architecture- The idea of the end of history as proven by the
fact that architects are taking references from the past means that everything that can be thought of has already done, therefore there can never be new developments and original works.
- Evokes a sense of nationalism- Recognition of plurality and individuality instead
of the monotony of Modernism
LATE PH POSTMODERNISM
Jim Jarmusch is an American independent film director, screen writer, actor, producer, and composer; and has been a major proponent of independent cinema since the 1980’s
“Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination.”
- Jim Jarmusch
Judith Torres is currently the editor-in-chief of BluPrint and Condo Living magazines by Mega Publishing Group
“I’ve heard Jarmusch’s assertion echoed by some designers, particularly when talking about the state of architecture and furniture design here in the Philippines, and lamenting the Filipino’s penchant – and talent – of copycatting”
- Judith Torres (Optimistic DNA, Editor’s Note – BluPrint Volume 4 2013)
The idea of plenty gone wild
Architectural aesthetics dictated by giant
corporations and commodities
Production of poor copies of “modernism”
(A pseudo-modern phenomenon)
“Gusto ko yung parang zen na minimalist”
LATE PHILIPPINE POSTMODERNISM
- Idea of plenty went wild- Architecture is dictated by corporation and
commodities- Aping of western architecture- Production of poor copies of “modernism” (A
pseudo-modern phenomenon)- End of history

Problem Identification:
Due to the effects of the Postmodern cultural trend, the
architecture of the Philippines has stopped its growth and
development, as it has failed to give any deepening
understanding of architectural aesthetics, but rather, a much
more chaotic architectural landscape for the country.
“In the evolution of any
discipline, it may be useful
to see the development of
institutions or other trends
that support it.”-Michael D. Kanidah on Contemporary History
(http://www.history.ac.uk/makinghistory/resources/articles/contemporary_history.html)
Thesis Statement:
The contemporary society can no longer be defined by
Postmodernism, due to the fact that it is no longer the
dominant ideology, therefore there must be a new set of
architectural aesthetic sensibilities that will reflect this new
structure of feeling of the contemporary generation. This new
ideology is called Metamodernism
Timotheus Vermeulen is a teaching fellow in Cultural Studies and
Theory at the Radboud University Nijmegen, the Netherlands. He is also
currently in the process of completing his AHRC-funded PhD in Film and
Television at the University of Reading, UK. He has published on inter-
and transmediality, spatiality, contemporary aesthetics, cinema and
television, and the work of Jacques Rancie`re.
– Notes on Metamodernism
Robin van den Akker is a Doctoral candidate in the Department of Philosophy atthe Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and a researcher at TNO Information and Communication Technologies. He is writing a dissertation on the remediation of urban space by mobile media practices. He has published on everyday life and urban space, digital culture and contemporary design, and the work of Henri Lefebvre.
– Notes on Metamodernism
Timotheus and Robin are also currently working on an international
research project documenting trends and tendencies in current affairs
and contemporary aesthetics that can no longer be explained in terms of
the postmodern but should be conceived of as metamodern. As part of
this project they also co-edit a blog called ‘‘Notes on metamodernism’’

“An incredible irony of this book is that the post-modernism it describes was started in the early 1970’s, […] and it comes to an end after his (MinorouYamasaki) twin towers were blown up by terrorists.”
