Modern architecture (exteriors)

Brief

Modern architecture was largely born out of the modernism movement of the late 19th and 20th century. Traditional building and design materials such as wood, stone and brick gave way to industrial materials such as glass, steel and concrete, and there was a move away from ornate styles to more practical, minimal styles and the idea that form should follow function. There was an embracing of minimalism, and a rejection of ornament. For the purposes of this contest post-modern architecture is also included in the definition, and the contest is for exterior views, not interiors.
