Modernism in Architecture

Our topic which we will be concerned with is Modernism in Architecture. It includes modern technologies, modern materials or sustainability, modern buildings and modern cities. It is very important for architects but also for all engineers to know which benefits modernism offers us. Therefore, the main point of this topic is to show what is bad in the good things that we have. We will talk about usage of modern technologies in architecture and how they affect our life. Modern technologies offer us an easier and faster way of solving daily problems. It is very important in the fast life that we are living, but the problem that comes with this is losing the knowledge that is so obvious. Another thing that is very important is usage of materials in constructing modern buildings and cities. The world must be more concerned with sustainability because we are destroying our habitat. We have to rethink our actions that are rarely led by common sense and care for environment, but by the cost effectiveness. Everyone should be familiar with the problems that we are making to ourselves. To conclude, in this topic we will compare all these “good” and “bad” facts about modernism and everything that is coming with it, and see if we are developing ourselves or just going one step back.
