Modern
Modern architecture refers to design inspired by the historical art movement of modernism. Modernism was a rejection of the ornate trimmings of other design styles and usually has a flat plane, minimalist look. It also plays heavily on clean & straight vertical and horizontal lines and has a utilitarian ‘form follows function’ aesthetic. World War II brought new materials, such as steel, chrome and plywood and are often used with primary materials / colours. These are the basic themes of modern design, although the actual application can vary greatly.
