The 20th century marked transformative upheavals in society, influencing modernist architecture characterized by functionality and efficiency. Originating in Europe, this movement spread globally, adapting to local cultural contexts while maintaining core principles. Key figures like Eileen Gray and Oscar Niemeyer contributed to the dialogue, merging universal modernist concepts with regional nuances. This blending of experimentation and locality enriched the architectural landscape, demonstrating that modernism was both a response to technological advancements and a reflection of varied societal aspirations across different cultures.
Architecture should be an expression of our times, not a plagiarism of past cultures.
