Modernist architecture is a style that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, characterized by a departure from traditional architectural forms and the embrace of new technologies and materials. It emphasizes simplicity, functionality, and a minimalist aesthetic, often making use of open spaces, flat roofs, and large glass windows to create a sense of lightness and transparency. Modernist architects sought to reflect the spirit of the modern age, focusing on rational design and the elimination of ornamentation. This movement is closely associated with well-known figures such as Le Corbusier, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and Walter Gropius, who advocated for designs that served the needs of society while also engaging with the industrial advancements of their time. The principles of modernist architecture have had a lasting impact on urban design and continue to influence contemporary architecture.
