Modern architecture, inspired by the Modernism movement, is an architectural style from the 20th century, with a number of architectural variations throughout the decades.
It emerged in Europe in response to the rapid technological advancements and overall industrial revolution that was taking place. Unlike revivalist styles, modernism emphasizes form over function, little to no ornamentation, and creating minimalist spaces that bring the outdoors indoors.
As noted, modern architecture heavily emphasizes form over function, and less is considered more.
Unlike previous styles such as Victorian and neo-gothic styles that underlined romantic and artistic expression in architecture and gave the nod to medieval designs, the Modern style focuses on minimalism and creating spaces that are visually weightless.
Even though modern-style architecture does away with any form of ornamentation, it’s anything but boring. This is because modern-style homes take on distinctive designs that are instantly eye-catching.
For instance, instead of gabled or rooftop finials, modern-style homes feature flat roofs with angular lines and broad overhangs.
These roofs emphasize the principle of form over function best as they’re not only visually appealing but can also easily convert into functional spaces thanks to their horizontal orientation. Modern exteriors also often feature whitewashed exteriors or restrained color palettes.
Modernism might not be new, but it’s a continuing favorite. This style features clean lines, intentionally asymmetrical designs, minimal ornamentation, and natural lighting, creating simple yet visually interesting spaces. In a cluttered and chaotic world, a modern-style home can feel like a refreshing breeze.
