I don't know how deep the episodes plan on getting, but I think the house gets closer to the heart of postmodernism. With the other two you're sort of limiting what aspects of postmodern you can talk about. I think it would make sense to start with the house and use it as a springboard to discussing other buildings. And he has those important books too. So I think one way or another it would go back to him, so you might as well start with him.


John Portman may have created the atrium hotel, and maybe a short lived trend to go with it, but he didn't shape the course of architecture for decades to come like those other buildings/architects.
