Lera Samovich describes the cooler appropriation of Postmodernism in the work of fala atelier, based in Porto, Portugal, of which she has been a member since 2014. While borrowing from and influenced by previous Postmodernisms, the practice's designs combine disparate formal tropes, materials and styles to create a less ironic, more sensible, less ornament‐dependent and more serious architecture.
