Abstract
Postmodernism is a broad based phenomena, which at once is a group of attitudes and theories, is to do with the condition of living in the contemporary world, and includes a concomitant range of styles and expressions in different fields of activity.
In Landscape Architecture Postmodernism has been particularly associated with Participatory Design, Ecological Design, and Experimental or Contextual Design.
However, reference to the more rigorous theory would encourage caution in simply attaching the label of Postmodernism to any or all of these.
No explicit use has apparently been made of Postmodernism in New Zealand Landscape Architecture and there are few examples of postmodern trends in either theory or practice.
