MODERN ARCHITECTURE

GROUP IV

Since the mid-19th cent. there had been repeated attempts to assimilate modern technology in practice and theory and to formulate a modern style of architecture suitable to its age. A functionalist approach eventually replaced the formerly eclectic approach to design. Technical progress in the use of iron and glass made possible the construction of Sir Joseph Paxton's celebrated Crystal Palace in London (1851), in which a remarkable delicacy was achieved.

The Crystal Palace was a castiron and plate-glass building originally erected in Hyde Park, London, England, to house the Great Exhibition of 1851.
Construction started: 1850 Opened: 1851 Address: London Architectural style: Cast-iron architecture

Early modern architecture began at the turn of the 20th century with efforts to reconcile the principles underlying architectural design with rapid technological advancement and the modernization of society. It continues as a dominant architectural style for institutional and corporate buildings into the 21st century.

10 ATTRIBUTES THAT DEFINE MODERN ARCHITECTURE

1. INSPIRED BY FUNCTION Form follows function. - Louis Sullivan This idea is expressed by Modernisms tendency to have land or the function of a project dictate much of the design ideas.

2. SIMPLICITY IN FORM AND DESIGN Modern architecture is typically free of clutter and unnecessary elements. The goals of the project are clarified at the start, and only the features that are required are included in the design. The focus will be on the space itself, rather than on any decor or details not relevant to the overall design.

3. NOTHING TO HIDE

Materials are shown in the natural form and are showcased. Nothing is hidden or altered to look like something else.

4. LOVE OF ALL THINGS LINEAR Modern architects love lines; in many Modern designs, you will find strong linear elements and bold horizontal and vertical features.

5. BOLD ROOF LINES Instead of opting for the traditional triangular-based or craftsman style roof lines, Modern architecture dares to push the envelope on roof design.

6. WINDOWS AS DESIGN For bringing in light yet preserving privacy.

7. CREATIVE OPEN FLOOR PLANS

Prominent features of modern architecture include open interior floor plans with fewer walls.

8. POST AND BEAM ARCHITECTURE Instead of interior walls functioning as support walls, they serve more as room dividers or for appearance.

9. REVAMPED OUTDOOR SPACE

Multiple rooms open onto a large patio or atrium, designed to extend square footage and blur distinctions between the indoors and outdoors. Exterior building materials of glass and steel.

10. FOCUS ON MATERIALS Blending of established materials such as bricks and woods with then-newer materials such as manmade floorings.

VARIOUS MODERN ARCHITECTURAL STYLES

1. INTERNATIONAL ARCHITECTURE STYLE Emerging in the 1920s and 30s, the international style possessed three major principles: the focus of volume over mass, balance over symmetry and minimalism over ornamentation. The international style focuses on the stylistic and aesthetic properties of Modernism and came to be adopted by the modern movement as a whole.

2. BAUHAUS STYLE The international style was an off-shoot of the Bauhaus movement, which sought to apply the philosophies and ideals developed in modern architecture to other objects. It incorporated machines and production design as positive elements of the design process, rejecting precedent. This philosophy influenced modern architecture's reaction against eclecticism, which threw together a number of elements from various art periods into the elaborate decorations of building.

3. BRUTALIST ARCHITECTURE Developed from modernist architecture, Brutalism is characterized by the hard, repetitive angles created in the building shapes. While the material associated the most with Brutalism is concrete, the style focuses on displaying the texture of any given material that makes up the building. The structural elements will also be exposed.

4. ART DECO STYLE

This architectural style was visible during the years, 1925-1939. It refers to a decorative and elegant style of architecture that encompassed many other basic techniques of architecture.

5. PRAIRIE STYLE Typical flat roofs and a certain discipline in the ornamentation of the structures.

Staatliches Bauhaus, commonly known simply as Bauhaus, was a school in Germany that combined crafts and the fine arts, and was famous for the approach to design that it publicized and taught. It operated from 1919 to 1933. At that time the German term About this sound Bauhaus, literally "house of construction", stood for "School of Building".
The Bauhaus school was founded by Walter Gropius in Weimar. In spite of its name, and the fact that its founder was an architect, the Bauhaus did not have an architecture department during the first years of its existence. Nonetheless it was founded with the idea of creating a "total" work of art in which all arts, including architecture, would eventually be brought together. The Bauhaus style became one of the most influential currents in Modernist architecture and modern design. The Bauhaus had a profound influence upon subsequent developments in art, architecture, graphic design, interior design, industrial design, and typography.
