  • In his lecture for RIBA’s Annual Discourse series, Charles Jencks traces the evolution of architecture and its broader cultural context in the 20th century.

    This is a recording of an in-person lecture by Charles Jencks on 3 October 2000. The event was held at 66 Portland Place, London and was hosted by architect Mohsen Mostafavi. In the recording, Jencks references visual slides which are not part of the RIBA Collections.

    Charles Jencks (1939-2019) was an American architectural historian, cultural theorist and landscape designer.

    Jencks begins his lecture by laying down the foundations of what 'modernism' means and how its definition has changed over time. He also discusses how modernism takes it forms, in architecture, technology and media as well as Le Corbusier's thoughts on 'superficial modernism'.

    He then introduces the iconic architecture of 20th century modernism and its 'rivals' like the Arts and Crafts movement and National Romanticism. Jencks then explores modernism in its many forms throughout the decades and its relationship to classism and socio-economic contexts such as the Second World War.

    Referencing famous architectural texts throughout the lecture, Jencks concludes with discussion of biological and sustainability-focused green architecture with references from new urbanism, post-modernism and High Tech. He then highlights the direction this green architecture is headed and what it means for 'critical modernism,' in particular when integrating events of the past into the design.

    The RIBA Charles Jencks Award was established with prize money awarded to Charles Jencks from the Nara Gold Medal, which he received in 1992. Charles Jencks graciously donated this prize money to RIBA to set up an endowment fund, the interest from which was initially used for an exchange programme between British and Japanese architects.

    In 2003, the investment purpose of the fund was changed to create an annual award with a remit that has remained untouched since then: to reward an individual (or practice) that has recently made a major contribution simultaneously to the theory and practice of architecture. In addition to prize money, the winner delivers a lecture at RIBA.
