Late modern and postmodern architecture differ on allusion to the past

Evidence

His most significant move was to distinguish, early on, ‘late modern’ from ‘post-modern’ architecture. Dropping the claim that modernism had collapsed in the early seventies, Jencks conceded that its dynamic still survived, if in paroxysmic form, as an aesthetic of technological prowess increasingly detached from functional pretexts — but still impervious to the play of retrospect and allusion that marked postmodernism: Foster and Rogers as against Moore and Graves. This was the architectural equivalent of the literature championed by Hassan — ultra-modernism. — Perry Anderson, The Origins of Postmodernity, 61
