Jencks, Charles (1939– )

US architect and architectural theorist. He popularized the term ‘postmodern architecture’ through his book The Language of Post-Modern Architecture (1984). He is the author of many other books on architecture and culture, including What is Post-Modernism? (1996) and The Architecture of the Jumping Universe (1995), which looks at cosmogenic architecture and complexity theory. He is also a leading landscape gardener, as well as a sculptor and furniture designer.

His landscape work includes the ‘Landform’ on the front lawn of the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art (2002), and his sculptures include the DNA Sculpture in Kew Gardens, London (2003).
