EXP3: Mashup article

What is modernism? Modernism is a philosophical movement, which first emerged in the early twentieth century, it means current or present. Modernists believe that ornament should follow the structure and the purpose of the building. Modernism is also described as being a break with tradition, and as typifying everything that rejects the inheritance of the past. Paul Greenhalgh outlined key features in modernist design including function, progress, anti-historicism and social morality.

   Modernist architecture by allowing a great deal of repetition of elements without variation, buildings could reflect modern technology. Modernity is constantly in conflict with tradition, intends that we should move into a brand new world.
