MODERN ARCHITECTURE

Modern architecture was a jump and a contrast for the traditional architecture, which was all about symmetric structures with fine and elegant decorations. Modernism came with new ideas and new concepts, now the most important part is the space itself rather than the decorations and details that it has; the space and modernism has so many features that it "self-decorates". Modern architecture centers on simplicity and clarity. An open space which everything is integrated in only one space. 

Nothing is hidden or modificated to look like something else, and nature is a tool to integrate the home to the world outside it, rather than a limit to construct. Cutouts, windows, staircases, fireplaces are all part of Modern architecture. Modern architects love lines and linear features; horizontal or vertical, diagonal or straight. 

The roofs are not the traditional triangular shape, but they now defy the traditional with other options, such as flat roofs, elongated ceilings... and the weirder it looks, the better and good- looking it is. There are now changes also in materials, not the traditional wood and bricks, but now there are other materials human-made and sometimes eco-friendly, and even radiant floor heat. 

Architecture has definitely evolved from the antique and normal traditional style, where everything was planned, symmetric and decorated with external features, but now, the simpler, the better it looks. Nowadays many homes are made in this style.
