The term ‘modern’ is an ambiguous one that can be interpreted in a number of ways.

In its widest sense, ‘modern’ relates simply to things from the present or the immediate past. This may include the adoption of recent techniques, methods or ideas.

In historic terms however, the early modern period is considered to follow the late Middle Ages of the post-classical era from approximately 1500 to 1800 and the beginning of a period of revolution. It is characterised by a period of exploration and globalisation and a move away from medieval systems of politics and economics.

The late modern period follows this, including the industrial revolution, and runs up to contemporary history from around 1945 to the present day.

Modern architecture and modern buildings however are generally considered to have emerged in the early 20th century and characterised by the use of use of glass, steel and reinforced concrete.

This is sometimes associated with the stylistic terms ‘modernism’ or ‘modernist’, however, these have a very specific meaning associated with a design process that focussed on the function of buildings, approached from an analytical viewpoint, a rational use of materials, the elimination of ornament and decoration, and openness to structural innovation.

Modernism developed across all artistic fields, and encompassed a number of variations, including Futurism, Constructivism, De Stijl, and Bauhaus.

For more information see: Modernism.

Modernism as a style was followed by post-modernism, also known as ‘pomo’, an architectural style that emerged in the late-1960s as a reaction against modernism, which was considered by some to be too bleak, formal and austere. Postmodern architecture is characterised by its highly decorative, whimsical and kitsch aesethetic. It incorporated stylistic references that were often playful and symbolic, using shape and colour and applying structural forms from classical architecture to modern designs.
