Modern Architecture: Form Follows Function
Discover how 20th century architects revolutionized building design
Modern architecture broke away from historical styles, embracing simplicity, clean lines, and the honest use of materials. Pioneers like Le Corbusier, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and Frank Lloyd Wright championed the principle that form should follow function. This movement gave us iconic structures like the Villa Savoye, the Seagram Building, and Fallingwater. Modern architecture reflected industrial progress and a new way of thinking about space and living.
