Modern Architecture

Modern architecture emerged around 1920 with a focus on "Form follows Function." It emphasizes true materials, using wood, plastics, metals, and industrially produced materials. Buildings are found worldwide and can vary in stories. Notable in France and Germany, most structures feature streamlined or futuristic designs, utilizing vertical lines and proportion for visual impact.
