First, it proposes a critical revision of architectural postmodernity as if it was the result of a unitary project. Second, it does so by using the ideas of ambiguity and contradiction, even though both terms are still problematic and loaded with negative connotations. And third, it uses as theoretical apparatus the work of three antagonists: Robert Venturi, Peter Eisenman and Rem Koolhaas, trying to persuade us that there are strong connections between their respective approaches.<\/p>\n<p>We believe that these arguments are enough for the custodians of academic virtue and intellectual rigour to conclude their interest in the present research. We begin, in fact, by putting them at the forefront so that no one feels deceived or wasting their precious time. However, for those tempted by the abyss of heresy, serve the following lines as an official summary of the work:<\/p>\n<p>\u2026 To purge repression, express anguish, show resistance to the system, deny its ability to express the truth or raise the consciousness of the sublime\u2026 A significant part of architectural production since the 60s\u2019 seemed to find a critical way to conceptually deal with the postmodern sensibility. The uncertain condition of an artwork, explored in the modern period, evolved into the impossibility of its de-codification or reading through the use of contradiction, during postmodernity.<\/p>\n<p>Dos son las hip\u00f3tesis que han guiado y estructurado la investigaci\u00f3n. Primera: la arquitectura del siglo XX ha incorporado de manera creciente la idea de ambig\u00fcedad a su discurso te\u00f3rico. Segunda: la utilizaci\u00f3n de herramientas procedentes del estudio del lenguaje motiv\u00f3, adem\u00e1s, su disoluci\u00f3n ling\u00fc\u00edstica.
