An Evening
with Charles Jencks Renowned architect and theorist Charles Jencks is most famous for his writings on postmodern architecture. His influential book The Language of Post-Modern Architecture (1977) extended the concept of postmodernism from literary criticism to the visual arts. He is author of more than thirty books, including Towards a Symbolic Architecture (1985), The Architecture of the Jumping Universe (1995), and The Garden of Cosmic Speculation (2003). His most recent book, The Iconic Building, analyzes world-famous structures by Frank Gehry, Daniel Libeskind, and Rem Koolhaas, among other leading architects. Jencks's own innovative work includes the dramatic and radical landscaping project, Landform, for the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art. Charles Jencks divides his time among lecturing, writing, and designing in the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe, and Asia. He earned degrees in English literature and architecture at Harvard and in architectural history at the University of London. He lives in Scotland. "Charles Jencks is unequivocally architecture's greatest living storyteller." —Architecture General
