We architects pat ourselves on the back saying that the postmodern is already over, yet we still cannot collectively define how the current era should be named. This paper will provide an angle to this discussion by pointing out some of the key principles of the postmodern movement are currently still in very early stages, yet very ambitious in the mid-term perspective. Also, the predominantly used name for the current era is suffering from a hidden yet almost unintentional anaphora: the era after (meaning post) the postmodern. While discussing architectural postmodern values, the shift from modernist hierarchical approach towards the polycentric or decentralized can feel a bit too abstract. While searching for this shift in the physical aspect of our buildings, their facades, structures or in the polyfunctional layouts of mixed-use buildings one is never fully satisfied with the findings. What if we were just missing something or looking in the wrong places? This paper would like to focus on the differences between modernist hierarchies and postmodernist decentralized networks in both thinking and making. This decision limits the scope of the paper essay, however it still provides an example of reassessing the role of postmodernism in current discourse. Using a couple of examples from areas and fields where the form of organization is already changing, this paper provides a speculative approach to answering the question in the topic of this essay. Definitions of postmodern are quite often very negative and based on lack of some values. This was pointed out by Brendan Graham Dempsey when he compared definitions from Jean Francois Lyotard, David Harvey and Fredric Jameson. (1) All these authors define postmodernism as a loss of something. In Lyotard’s case it is loss of the metanarrative and grand stories to explain our world. In the case of Harvey, it is loss of the eternal and immutable, our values and authorities. Jameson discusses the loss of a deeper meaning and the entire depth model. Let’s investigate if there is something the postmodern gave us instead.
