By analyzing the work of Alvaro Siza, an architect not normally associated with Postmodernism , his talk framed architectural history as two-fold: a rich referential resource to be drawn upon, and a messy series of events whose only inevitability is change. He intended to rewrite a history in which "one would like to originate". Martin broke down the accepted idea that this period of architecture was simply ironic historicism and reframed it as something useful, a jumping off point.
