& Function in 20th Century Architecture
[ send
me this paper ]
A 7 page paper giving a general overview of modern
architecture. Architecture may have witnessed more changes
in the 20th century than at any other time aside from the
shift from mud huts to more permanently constructed
buildings. When form reigned supreme, people were forced
to adapt to the structure and not all were privy to having
any sort of structure they could call their own. But with
the advent of the idea of people first with buildings
serving their needs, function took the lead, letting form
grow from the function needed in any specific structure.
