40 Times Designers Went All In And Designed The Most Fabulous Examples Of ‘Modern Architecture’
Modernist architecture has the best public relations managers since the name itself evokes notions like “contemporary” or “current,” while brutalism sounds like a metal band struggling to create an adjective. While quite recent, modernism isn’t defined by being “new,” rather, it’s a design philosophy that celebrates experimentation and rejects rules.
The “Modern Architecture” Facebook group shares exactly what you would think, images of glass and concrete constructions that look like they came straight out of Minecraft. Or Lego, depending on your generation. So scroll through and be sure to upvote your favorites and comment your thoughts on this style.

Looks beautiful but rainforests are brutally humid which would be murder on books and furniture and everything else. Might not be too bad with all the windows since it's shady but impractical from an insulation standpoint. Also, looks like one of those AI type pictures, not a real place.

So pretty. One of my highly unrealistic fantasies is to have a home like this in a forest like this.
Despite the name, modernist architecture, as a branch of modernism, is no spring chicken. Its origins lie in the 19th century, with the Crystal Palace used to host the Great Exhibition of 1851. Steel and glass were becoming more commonly available and architects and engineers were starting to understand these new materials. This opened up new possibilities for the heights and shapes a building could take. Early modernism still had many of the trappings of older designs, from intricate facades and traditional shapes.
Post-World War Two, architects began to design buildings that resembled many of the ones in this list. Sometimes also called the international style, a wonderfully vague name. Granite and concrete-gray became more standard and buildings took on harsher, sharper edges. Soon enough, skyscrapers encased in glass were not oddities, but the norm. Modernism as a style in general outlived the 19th century by embracing change and seeing new materials as opportunities.

All this stuff looks so beautiful right up until you remember that with all that glass, everything you own is gonna start enduring massive sun damage. If you have enough money to blow on replacing alot of stuff every few years, then I guess it wouldn't matter.
Now, name aside, modernism is old enough that many of its constructions need preservation, which sounds distinctly unmodern. Some are even UNESCO World Heritage Sites, a designation that conjures up ideas of crumbling, ancient burial mounds. The World Monuments Fund even has a specific campaign aimed at preserving modern architecture called “Modernism at Risk,” which was launched in 2006. Which, I probably need not remind you was a whole seventeen years ago.

Something about that staircase doesn't look right, like one of those optical illusions.
The ability of modernism to keep changing with the times has also been the focus of much criticism. Many of the shapes and designs seem alien at first glance, leading to the creation of a variety of buildings that many people might struggle to understand. Sure, they might understand that it’s a building, but the function of the construction, where it begins and ends might be less clear. Windows might be multiple stories tall, the structure can have strange, hollow spires and whatever else the architect felt like on a particular day.

While it used to be a more defined philosophy, the general embracement of modern architecture by many areas has made it appear like the default, generally due to ease of construction and readily available materials. After all, concrete, glass, and steel are pretty common in this day and age. As a result, the style has become somewhat diluted of its philosophical edge. While previously it was a rejection of old forms and traditions, it now represents the status quo and can be found almost everywhere.

Despite the blocky forms and harsh edges, not all modernist architects see the style as smooth-faced towering monoliths. Many of the examples here actually blend with nature, appearing more like elements of the landscape. This particular branch, pardon the pun, of modern architecture focuses on the organic harmony between human construction and the environment. Fallingwater by Frank Lloyd Wright is likely the best example of this style, where a waterfall seems like it’s a natural extension of the building.

3darchitect seems to produce a lot of half baked renderings. Like this one. IRL this would be an ecological disaster. Modern concrete deteriorates in less than 60 years. From this perspective it appears that the only function of that immense vertical wedge is to support that floating pool. How about moving the house back from the edge about 40 feet (12 meters) and put your pool somerwhere else. Let's think more about interfering less with the environment.

"Modern concrete deteriorates in less than 60 years". No, only the cheapest stuff laid by absolute morons does that. Good concrete, which I hope this is, has a mean lifetime near 1,000 years. I'd be worried about floods, and erosion caused by the impact of flood-borne boulders.

There's no such thing as "too many windows".....the more light you get, the higher quality of life you ensure for the dwellers.
Load More Replies...Other examples of the style include the Rådhuset metro station in Stockholm, Sweden, where the bedrock is left exposed to give the appearance and feeling of being in a cave system. This style has the added effect of being more sustainable, as there is less “construction” to maintain. Studies show that green and/or natural spaces in an urban area have positive health benefits for residents. Organic architecture can extend elements of nature to areas that would in most places be strictly functional.

Da Figueira House, 726 sqm, designed by Stemmer Rodrigues, 2017, Located in Porto Alegre - Brazil
The composition of the main facade is a tuning of contrasts between the rigidity of the concrete, the fig tree that gives its name to the house, and the great rock that simulates the support of the volume, honouring a strong element of the regional landscape.
In contrast to the sturdiness of the upper block, the lightness of the free space at the pedestrian level provides the transparency needed to contemplate the scene.
On the ground floor and second floor were installed motorized mobile skylights, which in addition to lighting fulfill the function of exhaustion of hot air on summer days, sucking hot air out of the house and reducing the thermal amplitude.

The stones are boulders and their raw shape is original, shaped by nature from natural erosions in explosions of the mining process. They were brought from Mariana Pimentel / RS and the yellowish placement was determined to contrast with the gray of the concrete.

Tree House in Curitiba, Brazil, by Studio Guilherme Torres
Studio Guilherme Torres, an architecture firm named after its founder and creative director, carries a fundamental premise in its works: the use of high-performance construction techniques, yield and minimization or extinction of environmental impact. This intrinsic feature is present since his first works in the early 00's, where the concepts of ecological preservation were not as widespread in the Brazilian architecture market as it is today.

The spirit of the building is regaining passion for life, the same as a movie called Scent of a Woman, which tells the story about a blind officer who is about to give up his life, and finally rekindles his passion affected by a young man accompanied with him.
The architectural design is inspired by the classical scene of the film, a tango of the protagonist in a restaurant: the elegance and passion of the dance symbolize the enthusiasm of life.
The building form has been simplified into two concise lines: A strong straight line forms a 24-meter-high wall.
A soft and stretching curve forms the curvy roof that transitions from horizontal to vertical.

Ok, can we get rid of the AI-generated ones? They’re just images of real architecture smashed together by an uninspirable machine, without any consent of the actual designers

BP seems to have a problem with using AI constantly... Look under the digital art tag. This c**p isn't art and it never will be. AI takes the humanity out of art. AI "art" is soulless. And a lot of it works by copying *real* artists incredible work so that some rando on twitter can claim they made it.

If these are intended to make me hire you as my architect, try designing a house that doesn't look like a soulless monochrome hellhole. Where are my log cabins and country cottages at?

Glad I'm not the only one! 'Soulless monochrome hellhole' describes these perfectly.

I appreciate the aesthetics of these homes, but some of them are way to sterile. I need more chaos to feel cozy. And definitely more plants.
