Whakatane Airport, New Zealand. 

The "excitingly different" terminal building was designed by Roger Walker and completed in 1974.

Postmodernity in architecture is said to be heralded by the return of "wit, ornament and reference" to architecture in response to the formalism of the International Style of modernism. The functional and formalized shapes and spaces of the modernist style are replaced by diverse aesthetics: styles collide, form is adopted for its own sake. 

Modernist architects may regard postmodern buildings as vulgar, associated with a populist ethic, and sharing the design elements of shopping malls, cluttered with "gew-gaws". Postmodern architects may regard many modern buildings as soulless and bland, overly simplistic and abstract. Robert Venturi was at the forefront of the postmodern movement. His book, "Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture" (1966), included the adaptation of Mies van der Rohe’s famous maxim “Less is more” to "Less is a bore." 

Postmodernism become a popular movement in the late 1970s and continues to influence present-day architecture and design.
