Modern architecture

Modern architecture is a style of architecture that emerged in the early 20th century and is characterized by a departure from traditional architectural styles and a focus on innovation, functionality, and minimalism. Key features of modern architecture include the use of clean lines, simple geometric shapes, open spaces, and the incorporation of new materials and construction techniques. Modern architects sought to break away from historical revival styles and create designs that reflected the technological advancements and social changes of the modern era. Prominent examples of modern architecture include the Bauhaus school, the International Style, and iconic buildings like the Villa Savoye and the Seagram Building.
