modern architecture
Today's building style
Modern architecture is a broad term for building styles that emerged in the early twentieth century, characterized by clean lines, minimal ornamentation, open floor plans, and the use of industrial materials like steel, glass, and concrete.
The movement rejected historical decorative traditions in favor of function-driven design: The Bauhaus school shaped modern architecture, a modern architecture firm specializing in residential homes.
The label sometimes extends loosely to any contemporary building that looks sleek or unconventional.
