Charles Jencks

Charles Jencks (Baltimore, 1939) es un arquitecto paisajista, teórico e historiador de la arquitectura estadounidense. Sus libros sobre historia y crítica del Movimiento Moderno y Posmodernismo han sido ampliamente leídos en los círculos arquitectónicos y también fuera de ellos.

Estudió literatura inglesa en la Universidad de Harvard, posteriormente obtuvo un MA en arquitectura en la Harvard Graduate School of Design en 1965. También tiene un PhD en historia de la arquitectura del University College de Londres.

Si bien no creó el término "posmoderno", su libro de 1977 "El lenguaje de la arquitectura posmoderna" se considera a menudo como el que popularizó el término en relación con la arquitectura.
