Evolution of Modern Architecture by mrrama is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Modern architecture evolved due to new materials and technologies from the Industrial Revolution. It aimed to simplify forms and eliminate ornamentation, emphasizing function over style. Some key figures who helped establish Modern architecture include Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, and Walter Gropius. Neoclassicism drew inspiration from classical Greek and Roman architecture and emphasized symmetry, columns, and geometric forms. It was a reaction against earlier Baroque and Rococo styles.
