Study Notes
Architectural Movements
Modernism (c. 1920s-1970s)
- Characterized by minimalist and functional designs that reject ornamentation
- Featured use of new materials such as steel, glass, and concrete
- Examples: Villa Savoye and Fallingwater
- Significance: Emphasized form following function to create a new aesthetic for the modern age
Postmodernism (c. 1970s-present)
- Defined by eclectic, playful, and complex designs that incorporate historical elements
- Featured use of irony and celebrated diversity and contradiction
- Examples: AT&T Building and Piazza d'Italia
- Significance: Reaction against Modernism's austerity, embracing diversity and complexity
Deconstructivism (c. 1980s-present)
- Characterized by fragmented, non-linear, and dynamic structures
- Featured use of unconventional forms and emphasized unpredictability and chaos
- Examples: Guggenheim Museum Bilbao and Walt Disney Concert Hall
- Significance: Challenged traditional architectural conventions and emphasized chaos and unpredictability
Sustainable Architecture (c. 1990s-present)
- Focuses on eco-friendly materials, energy efficiency, and renewable resources
- Designed to integrate with the environment and reduce environmental impact
- Examples: Bullitt Center and One Central Park
- Significance: Promotes sustainability, resilience, and reduces environmental impact
Parametricism (c. 2000s-present)
- Characterized by complex geometries and use of algorithms and digital tools
- Featured fluid, dynamic forms enabled by digital technology
- Examples: Heydar Aliyev Center and Beijing National Stadium
- Significance: Leverages digital technology for innovative design, enabling new architectural expressions
