MODERN CONCEPTS OF ARCHITECTURE BY SHYAM SINGH PATHAK (HARDCOVER)

Modern architecture emphasizes the concept of “form follows function,” meaning a building’s design should be dictated by its intended purpose, rather than by ornamentation. This approach manifests as simplicity, minimalism, an embrace of new materials like steel, glass, and concrete, and the use of clean, geometric forms with a focus on horizontal and vertical lines. Key elements include open floor plans, large windows, and a visible expression of the building’s structure.
