ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Charles Jencks

Charles Jencks was a big smarty pants who liked to think a lot about architecture and gardens. He wrote lots of books about them and even designed some cool buildings and parks! He really liked big shapes and patterns and colors and made sure that things looked super fancy and interesting. People really liked his work because it made them feel happy and inspired. Even though he wasn't a superhero, he did really important stuff and made the world a prettier place!
