  7. Casa Mila by Antonio Gaudi Influenced by cliff and sands of Spanish coast Undulating facade, use of plant-like designs

  8. De Stijl • • Developed in Holland in 1920s • Sleek appearance devoid of embellishments • Flat planes, basic geometric shapes, straight lines • Efficient designs; functional furniture

  9. Schroder House by Gerrit Rietveld Use of basic shapes and colors-rectangles, primary colors Similar to Mondrian paintings

  10. The Bauhaus Key Points School of art and architecture from 1919-1933 Taught modern concepts of design Curriculum combined art, crafts, and architecture Principles taught at Bauhaus inspired International Style

  11. WALTER GROPIUS, Shop Block, the Bauhaus, Dessau, Germany, 1925-1926.Famous section of the Bauhaus Example of modern architecture Extensive use of windows to provide natural light and air Moveable interior walls; flexible space

  12. The International Style Key Points Based upon Mies van der Rohe's principle: "Less is more." Architecture should be practical and functional; no unnecessary exterior decoration Use modern materials and support methods-glass, steel, and cantilevers

  13. Le Corbusier-Villa Savoye; home should be a "machine for living;" basic geometric shapes and flat planes.

  14. LUDWIG MIES VAN DER ROHE and PHILIP JOHNSON, Seagram Building, New York, 1956-1958.

  15. Post-Modern Architecture (1980s) Key Points Critical of Modernist architecture; too impersonal and sterile­"Less is a bore" Architecture should consider an area's history and diversity Very eclectic-borrows from a number of style

  16. Pompidou Centre by Piano and Rogers--exposes the structure's interior supports

  17. Portland Building by Michael Graves-uses different shapes, colors, and materials on building's surface

  18. AT&T Building by Philip Johnson-combines elements of International Style (sleek lines; efficient use of space, minimal surface decoration) with such classical elements as large round arch and pediment

  19. Deconstructivist Architecture Key Points Emphasizes the instability of life and society-no universal concepts and ideas Uses unique forms, harsh angles, and new materials to create unstable designs that shock the viewer

  20. Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, by Frank Gehry Titanium surface-light, strong, highly reflective Futurist appearance-swooping, sharp angles Asymmetrical composition-lacks balance and order associated with Modernism
