2.  Modern architecture is a term applied to an period in
architectural history during the 20th century, with its
exact definition and scope varying widely.
 Modern architecture began at the turn of the 20th
century with advancement and the modernization of
efforts to reconcile the principles underlying
architectural design with rapid technological society.
 When compared to that which preceded it,
modernism in architecture is broadly characterized by
simplification of form and subtraction of ornament
from the structure and theme of the building.

3.  Common themes of modern architecture include:
 "Form follows function", meaning that the result of design
should derive directly from its purpose.
 Simplicity and clarity of forms and elimination of
"unnecessary detail"
 Visual expression of structure (as opposed to the hiding of
structural elements)
 The related concept of "Truth to materials", meaning that
the true nature or natural appearance of a material ought
to be seen rather than concealed or altered to represent
something else.
 Use of industrially-produced materials; adoption of the
machine aesthetic.

4.  There are multiple lenses through which the evolution
of modern architecture may be viewed.
 Some historians see it as a social matter, closely tied to
the project of Modernity and thus the Enlightenment.
 Modern architecture developed, in their opinion, as a
result of social and political revolutions.
 Others see Modern architecture as primarily driven by
technological and engineering developments.
 Still other historians regard Modernism as a matter of
taste, the lavish stylistic excesses of architecture.

5.  With the Industrial Revolution, the availability of
newly-available building materials such as iron, steel,
and sheet glass drove the invention of new building
techniques.
 It was not until the early 1830s that Eaton Hodgkinson
introduced the section beam, leading to widespread
use of iron construction.
 A further development was that of the steel-framed
skyscraper in Chicago around 1890 by William Le
Baron Jenney and Louis Sullivan.

6.  The Congrès Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne
(CIAM) would be a force in the shaping Modernist
urban planning, and consequently the design of cities
and the structures within, from 1928 to 1959.
 Following its principles, in the late 1950s the entirely-
new city of Brasília was built as a new capital for Brazil,
designed by Lucio Costa, with prominent works for it
designed by Oscar Niemeyer.
 In the Eastern Bloc, mass housing would take the form
of prefabricated panel buildings, such as the
Plattenbau of East Germany, Khrushchyovka of Russia
and the Panelák of Czechoslovakia.

7.  As the International Style took hold, others architects
reacted to or strayed from its the purely functionalist
forms, while at the same time retaining highly
modernist characteristics.
 Mid-century modernism, or organic modernism, was
very popular, due to its democratic and playful nature.
 Expressionist exploration of form was revived, such as
in the Sydney Opera House in Australia by Jørn Utzon.

8. Tube architecture :-
 "a three dimensional space structure composed of
three, four, or possibly more frames, braced frames, or
shear walls, joined at or near their edges to form a
vertical tube-like structural system capable of resisting
lateral forces in any direction by cantilevering from the
foundation.
 The first building to apply the tube-frame construction
was the DeWitt-Chestnut Apartment Building which
Khan designed and was completed in Chicago by 1963.

15. In 2007, the Sydney Opera House by Jørn Utzon was listed as a World Heritage Site.

16.  Modern architecture met with some criticism,
which began in the 1960s on the grounds that it
seemed universal, elitist, and lacked meaning.
 The loss of traditionalist structures to make way
for new modernist construction, especially via the
Urban Renewal movement, led to further
criticism.

17.  Architects explored Postmodern architecture which
offered a blend of some pre-modern elements, and
deliberately sought to move away from rectilinear
designs, towards more eclectic styles.
 High Postmodern aesthetics lacked traction and by
the mid-1990s, a new surge of modern architecture
once again established international pre-eminence.
 Although modern and postmodern design compete
with a revival of traditional architectural design in
commercial and institutional architecture; residential
design continues to be dominated by a traditional
aesthetic.

18.  In Ancient Architecture their was use of natural
resources or readily available materials like stone,
sand, etc.
 But as emergence of modern Architecture started
the use of new and different types of materials like
steel, cement, etc started.
 As the emergence started the way and techniques
of designing also started changing time to time.
