Neomodernism refers to a philosophical position based on modernism but addressing the critique of modernism by postmodernism. Postmodernism refers to a variety of artistic, cultural and philosophical movements that arose as a reaction against purists modernism. Postmodernism is marked by a recognition and acceptance of ethnic, sexual and cultural diversity, (or diverse artistic expressions) whereas modernism could only describe the alternate as the “other”. Various socio-cultural or political praxis and beliefs can ascribe to one of these philosophies. Neomodernism addressed the criticisms leveled at postmodern philosophy, namely that universalism and critical thinking are the two essential elements of human rights and that human rights create a superiority of some cultures over others. That is, that equality and relativism are "mutually contradictory". Neomodern architecture is a reaction to the complexity of postmodern architecture and eclecticism, seeking greater simplicity. Case in point, this project in video retains the basic plan form of vernacular Assam-type houses and elements, such as verandas, local materials, clerestory and windows for winter solar heat gain and summer ventilation, albeit in a simple neomodernist expression.

Equity, universalism and or v/s human rights, relativism are somewhat an oxymoron school of thoughts. In design, an extended philosophy, various school of design thoughts have came up as contemporary architecture or design. It evolves and changes with time and peoples fads tend to change, sometimes eccentric modernism is also one of those. Some of these new ideas are sustainable, while others are not. The only thing that seems sustainable in the long-term is change and evolution itself. And, yes these school of thoughts
“equality and relativism” are indeed somewhat contradictory, and even controversial in some political and socio-cultural contexts. Design is by and large a resultant of socio-cultural, politics and economic praxis of the era manifested into tangible heritage forms. As such, many forms of contemporary design ideas will evolve as a reaction to the so called modern and post modern ideologies. Even design styles, forms, and philosophies that have little or nothing to do with the established school of thoughts will continue to emerge, and so it must!
Поднимаемый вопрос чрезвычайно важен для современного общества. Постмодернизм все больше вызывает критику, поскольку не может адекватно объяснить существующую социальную реальность. Необходима новая методология, на роль которой может претендовать неомодернизм.
