Today I will be talking about modern architecture. Let’s start off with a video this time. Try to find out similarities among these different works, and try to see how they are “modern”. Now do you get an idea of what modern architecture looks like? Just like how the name implies, the buildings definitely look modern. I thought of science and technology as I saw these buildings. Also, I 0bserved that a lot of glass were used. Well, modern architecture is the simplified, unornamented building style of the late 19th and 20th centuries. Materials such as glass, steel, iron, and concrete were popular in building these buildings.
These designs were inspired by machine aesthetics. The form of the building was decided according to its functional purpose and the materials that made it up.
However, these buildings created a great environmental concern since glass walls required more energy to generate heat or cool air in the buildings. Nowadays, it is all about being “green” and eco-friendly. The trend of architecture always changes just like fashion.
