Abstract:

Postmodernism and postmodern architecture concepts, fairly discussed for many years, are now being re-examined with the statements of 21st century theorists indicating that a new turnoff is necessary; and, the discussion is on what might happen with theories after theories beyond Jencks’s postmodern architectural classification. In such a point, the general attitude in the architecture theory, distinctions, and trends should be reviewed. The aim of this study is actually to seek possible answers to the question ‘what is possible beyond postmodern architecture?’ as it appears like a reckoning with the exhibition in 2011 named ‘Postmodernism: style and Subversion 1970-1990’ and so attracting the gaze that postmodernism might be a dead ideology. In this context, the projective practice, proposed by Somol and Whiting contains possible alternative solutions. In this study three cases are discussed which are considered as suitable examples to projective practice
