Personal summary of reading: Radical Post-Modernism and Content: Charles Jencks and Rem Koolhaas Debate the Issue

In this article Charles Jenks and Rem Koolhaas debate the issue of radical post modernism. My first thoughts reading the title were ‘what on earth of radical post modernism?’ A general definition could be described as a reaction to the rejection of postmodern architecture. In this reading it is apparent that Jencks and Koolhaas debate the issue in relation to architecture and in particular a façade design coordinated by Koolhaas of Venice Bienalle.

This article didn’t massively interest me, if anything it confused me. I read up online another interview between the pair and again it did not create a spark or confliction to my thoughts. I didn't really understand what 'issue' there was to debate, it came across as a conflicting of opinion or Jencks trying to question Koolhaas.
