ARCHITECTURE
In modern architecture, we include all the architectural trends of the twentieth century.
One of the hallmarks of modern architecture is the simplification of forms, the stripping of ornaments, and the abandonment of academic classical composition. The aesthetic is influenced by the artistic movements of modern art such as cubism, expressionism, neo, futurism, and others.
The most outstanding modern architecture is the use of new materials such as steel and reinforced concrete, and use of related technologies, thus changing the way of designing and constructing buildings.
• Buildings should achieve maximum utilitarianism. The function follows form.
• The use of materials and construction system is subject to usage.
• The beauty is measured in the functional efficiency of the building.
• No distinction between parts of a building have the same hierarchy of facade detail.
• Each building should harmonize with the environment.
• It advocates the use of new materials and construction techniques.
• It adopts the aesthetics of the machine in search of greater efficiency.
Characteristics of modern architecture
THE FIVE POINTS OF NEW ARCHITECTURE
In 1926 Le Corbusier presented a paper systematically presents his architectural ideas: so-called "five points of a new architecture" represent an important conceptual innovation for its time, taking advantage of new construction technologies, resulting in particular the use of reinforced concrete (up then this material was used in homes and carved stone monuments hiding molded):
1. The piles: that housing will not sink into the ground, and (instead) be suspended upon him, so that the gardens “pass" below.
2. The roof garden: it allows maintaining thermal conditions on new concrete slabs and turns on housing space in an area usable for recreation.
3. The free plan: harnessing the strengths of concrete, this causes unnecessary load-bearing walls. Thus, improving the functional use of floor space, freeing the plant structural conditions.
4. The longitudinal window: for the same reason the previous point, also released the exterior walls, and windows can cover the entire width of the building, improving relations with the outside.
5. The facade encyclopedia: complementary interior point lags behind the pillars of the facade, freeing it of its structural function.
Its architecture is highly rationalistic, purified (with the use of materials without disguise; note the possible beauty of clean lines, unadorned, without redundancy) and an excellent use of light and outlook of a whole, giving a sense of freedom (at least for the movement of the eye) and ease of movement.
