"Stephen Bayley delivers Pomo its death blow"
- The Architect's Newspaper


Dezeen Wire:
author and curator Stephen Bayley has written a savage review of the Victoria & Albert museum's current exhibition of Postmodern design and architecture, which he describes as "a revived chamber of horrors." - The Architect's Newspaper

In his article, Bayley calls Robert Venturi's extension to the National Gallery in London "a pitiably ill-proportioned and architecturally illiterate dollop of pious schmaltz," and dismissively concludes that the exhibition is "a lot of tired one-liners, as fatigued as old newspapers."

See our previous story on the exhibition here, as well as reviews by Justin McGuirk of The Guardian, Alice Rawsthorn of The New York Times and Rowan Moore of The Observer.
