"Post-Modern space is historically specific, rooted in conventions, unlimited or ambiguous in zoning and irrational or transformational in its relation of parts to wholeâ€¦â€¦. â€¦skew or distorted spaces, created by sharp angles which exaggerate perspectiveâ€¦. â€¦always keep a mental coordinate system no matter how free- form and baroque they become. The reference plane is always an implied frontality, and the route through the building or the curvilinear elements then relate to this conceptual cage"
