Although English architecture in those decades was dominated by high-tech buildings by the likes of Norman Foster and Richard Rogers, the country did see its fair share of Postmodern architecture: designs that broke from the dominant Modern style and embraced historical forms. Historic England credits the 2011 Postmodernism: Style and Subversion 1970 - 1990 exhibition at the V&A as sparking a revival of interest in Postmodernism, though the style has seen a resurgence in recent in nearly every corner of the world.
