What is MODERNITY ?
•it means present, or current, implying as its opposite the notion of earlier, of what
is past.
• Population increase
• The cast plate glass process was invented in 1848, allowing the manufacture of
very large windows.

EARLY MODERNISM IN EUROPE
•At the end of the 19th century, a few architects began to challenge the
traditional Neoclassical styles that dominated architecture in Europe and the
United States.
• Visually, the style has much in common with its contemporary art
nouveau and it played a role in the founding of Bauhaus and
modernism.

INFLUENCE ON USA- ORGANIC ARCHITECTURE
“The idea that every country should have an architecture that reflects its own
particular history, geography and climate was central to the Arts and Crafts
movement”
“It is building the way nature builds.”
• The term ORGANIC ARCHITECTURE was invented by great Architect Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-
1959).
• Although the word “Organic” usually refers plants or animals or anything related to nature
but his interpretation was an idea which was to promote harmony between man made
structure and nature around through design approach as a unified composition.
• He believed that building should complement its environment , building should work as a
cohesive organism.
How he defined Organic Architecture changed often, as he refined it, and also as the situation
demanded.
• Integral to Site - houses designed to rise up out of the site as it belonging.
• Integral to environment - built appropriately to climate.
• Integral to Individual - Each building built to accommodate the lifestyle of the inhabitants
way of life and needs.
• Integral to Materials - details of the building were the materials themselves

•By the late 1920s, modernism had become an important movement in Europe.
Architecture, which previously had been predominantly national, began to become
international.
•The architects traveled, met each other, and shared ideas. Several modernists,
including Le Corbusier, had participated in the competitions.

PURISM 1918 -1925
• Purism & Le Corbusier In collaboration with the
artist Amédée Ozenfant, he developed a new
theory called Purism where architecture would
be as efficient as a factory assembly line.
He formed the five points of architecture which were the guiding principles for
many architects.
• The most important construction materials include steel, glass, and reinforced
concrete, sometimes a brick masonry applied on the face of the concrete.

ART DECO
• Art Deco, is an eclectic artistic and design
style that began in Paris in the 1920s and
flourished internationally throughout the
1930s and into the World War II era.
•The wartime industrial demands resulted in shortages of steel and other building
materials, leading to the adoption of new materials, such as aluminum.
•The war and postwar period brought greatly expanded use of prefabricated
building; largely for the military and government.
•The postwar housing shortages in Europe and the United States led to the design
and construction of enormous government-financed housing projects, usually in
run-down center of American cities, and in the suburbs of Paris and other
European cities, where land was available.
INTERNATIONAL STYLE OF ARCHITECTURE
• INTERNATIONAL STYLE that developed in Europe and the United States in the
1920s and ’30s and became the dominant tendency in Western architecture
during the middle decades of the 20th century International Style.
• The term International Style was first used in 1932 Architecture Since
1922, which
served as a catalogue for an architectural exhibition held at the Museum of
Modern Art.
• Architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886–1969) adopted the motto "Less is
more" to describe his aesthetic tactic of arranging the necessary
components of a building to create an impression of extreme simplicity—he
enlisted every element and detail to serve multiple visual and functional
purposes .
• Mies's second famous dictum is that 'God is in the details.' expressing the
idea that whatever one does should be done thoroughly.

BRUTALISM
• Consider Brutalism as architecture in the raw, with an emphasis on materials, textures and
construction, producing highly expressive forms.
• Also called New Brutalism, it encouraged the use of beton brut (raw concrete), in which
patterns created by wooden shuttering are replicated through board marking.
• Scale was important and the style is characterised by massive concrete shapes colliding
abruptly, while service ducts and ventilation towers are overtly displayed.
CHARACTERISTIC
Lack of ornament: Decorative mouldings and elaborate trim are eliminated or greatly
simplified, giving way to a clean aesthetic where materials meet in simple, well-executed
joints.
Emphasis of rectangular forms and horizontal and vertical lines: Shapes of houses are based
boxes, or linked boxes. Materials are often used in well-defined planes and vertical forms
juxtaposed against horizontal elements for dramatic effect.
Low, horizontal massing, flat roofs, emphasis on horizontal planes and broad roof
overhangs: Modern homes tend to be on generous sites, and thus many, but not all, have to
have meandering one-story plans. Many examples hug the ground and appear of the site,
not in contrast to it.
Use of modern materials and systems: Steel columns are used in exposed applications,
concrete block is used as a finished material, concrete floors are stained and exposed, long-
span steel trusses permit open column-free spaces, and radiant heating systems enhance
human comfort.
Use of traditional materials in new ways: Materials such as wood, brick and stone are used
in simplified ways reflecting a modern aesthetic. Traditional clapboard siding are replaced
with simple vertical board cladding used in large, smooth planes. Brick and stonework are
simple, unornamented, and used in rectilinear masses and planes.
CONTEXT AND CHARACTERISTIC OF MODERN ARCHITECTURE
Emphasis on honesty of materials: Wood is often stained rather than painted to express its
natural character. In many cases exterior wood is also stained so that the texture and
character of the wood can be expressed.
Relationship between interior spaces and sites: Use of large expanses of glass in effect
brings the building’s site into the building, taking advantage of dramatic views and natural
landscaping.
Emphasis on open, flowing interior spaces: Living spaces are no longer defined by walls,
doors and hallways. Living, dining and kitchen spaces tend to flow together as part of one
contiguous interior space, reflecting a more casual and relaxed way of life.
Generous use of glass and natural light: Windows are no longer portholes to the outside,
but large expanses of floor to ceiling glass providing dramatic views and introducing natural
light deep into the interior of homes.
Use of sun and shading to enhance human comfort: The best modern homes are efficient.
They are oriented to take advantage of nature’s forces to provide passive solar heating in
the winter, while long overhangs and recessed openings provide shading to keep homes
cool in the summer.
