“Form follows function” and “less is more” are two famous dictums of modernist architecture. We will look at the architecture of Sullivan, Wright, and other major players and their timeless designs.
Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright and Mies van der Rohe established a doctrine of an architecture that was simple, stable, and functional. The Post-Modernism of architects Frank Gehrey and Michael Graves was eclectic, unstable in appearance, and self-consciously reflective of past styles. The architecture of our time reflects the world we live in today.
