Talk:Charles Jencks

rewrite
There is almost no reliable third-party sourcing for this article. Rather than delete it all I have taken out some of the more subjective statements in the hope that such sourcing might be available for the more fact-based elements. This also shows up the poor structure of the article, but that's not its main problem. Js229 (talk) 00:48, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

fame
I took out "famous for his writings on postmodern architecture" and replaced it with 'His books on the history and criticism of Modernism and Postmodernism were widely read in architectural circles and beyond. 'famous' can imply many things.Brosi 13:25, 6 January 2007 (UTC)


 * The famous quote shall be added: "“Modern architecture died in St Louis, Missouri on July 15, 1972, at 3.32pm (or thereabouts),” he wrote, “when the infamous Pruitt-Igoe scheme, or rather, several of its slab blocks, were given the final coup de grace by dynamite.” Source -- --Horst-schlaemma (talk) 22:13, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
