Modernism, which began as an intellectual movement, was most popular as a design style from the end of the 1800s through the 1950s, although elements of it continue in today’s contemporary homes. It grew out of a blend of Scandinavian and German Bauhaus architecture and design of the time, and it was a rejection of earlier styles and traditions, like\u00a0Victorian<\/a>, Gothic, and Renaissance, which emphasized drama, ornamentation, and dark colors.<\/p>\n

Its\u00a0philosophy<\/a>, centered around “form follows function,” led to simplified designs. If something didn’t have a purpose, it should be removed from the design. New materials, including reinforced concrete and steel, allowed for geometric building shapes with flat roofs and large windows.
