Answer to Question 1

Answer:
1. Postmodernism is associated with disjunction.
2. This disjunction is exemplified in the two towers in Gehry's and Miluni's Rasin Building, which move in different directions yet remain connected.
3. Robert Venturi's 1972 book on Las Vegas described the collision of styles, signs, and symbols of the American strip as a new sort of unity.
4. The new unity is considered postmodern in that it includes everything, whereas as traditional art excludes elements not considered artful.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The patterns beautify the sacred text. The Cross page of the Lindisfarne Gospels portrays the Celtic Cross in a checkerboard pattern that includes interlaced ribbons and fighting animals.
