Entgegen der Auffassung, wonach sich die Architekten der Postmoderne als selbstreferenziell agierende Künstler verstanden hätten, zeigt das Buch anhand der Bauten, Projekte und Schriften von Charles Willard Moore (1925-1993) den gesellschaftspolitischen Anspruch auf, den der Architekt verfolgte.
Moore, der als Begründer der Postmoderne gilt, wollte Orte schaffen, die Menschen Aufschluss darüber geben, wo und wer sie sind. Seine Orte sollten der Entfremdung einer technokratischen Massengesellschaft entgegenwirken. Moores Architektur sollte die Bedingungen für ein politisches Handeln in einer Öffentlichkeit schaffen, in der die Vielstimmigkeit der Bürger selbstverständlich ist.
Reese legt eine Neubewertung des Werkes von Charles W. Moore vor, der sich gezielt gegen einen gesellschaftlichen Konformismus eingesetzt hat.

Moore’s interpretation of postmodern architecture Presentation of the various postmodern architectural approaches of Moore’s era Scholarly reassessment of this architectural movement
