A influence mostly inspired by Toys'R'Us, but often championed by tired over-worked (lazy) Edinburgh Architecture students namely Daryll Leslie and Hamish Jack

The house looks like it has been inspired by a postmodernisthumanitarianabstractrealist-esque thinker

Postmodernist Art

Pointless, ugly, unpleasant dribble that could enter a competition against found garbage and still lose made by talent-less posers steeped in smug, self-affirming attitudes of rebellion and uniqueness, while in fact being neither rebellious nor unique.

You can't thrash on the floor and make screeching noises in the MoMA and call it postmodernist art. It's not edgy and nihilistic, you just suck too much to actually make anything.

postmodernism

A philosophy which plays games with knowledge, postmodernism positions itself as the striving of ironic and nihilistic thought towards the meltdown of "enlightened" modern opinion, which pans out to be merely Christianity in disguise. Indeed, while Christianity marks the coming of Christ as a world-shaking event of cosmic proportions, postmodernism merely points to the numerous weaknesses in the Enlightenment's armor and calmly states, along with Hegel, "God is dead. May God help us all." Pontius Pilate was Nietzsche's ancestor, and Nietzsche was the grandfather of postmodernism. In fact, the central question of postmodernism is the same question spoken by Pontius Pilate to Jesus: "What is truth?" (John 18:38).

"Terry Gilliam's film adaptation of The Adventures of Baron Munchausen is too absurdly decadent to not be the epitome of postmodernism!"
