Modern architecture emphasizes geometric design and the efficient use of space. Originating in the early twentieth century, modernism continues to influence architectural design today. Many twenty-first century buildings follow the same design principles and use similar building materials. As a design-build firm, The Structures Group can create the cool, modern structure you’re looking for, from the ground up.

What Is Modern Architecture?

Based on the idea that “form follows function,” modernism stresses the practical, rational use of both materials and space. Modern architecture elevated ordinary materials like glass, concrete, and steel into structural works of art. Its focus on minimalism and functionality led to the creation of many iconically sculptural buildings. The clean, linear geometry of modern architecture makes an unforgettable visual statement. 

Modern Architecture in the Southwest

Arizona boasts a wide variety of modern architecture from the 1950s and 1960s. In fact, Tucson’s “Sunshine Mile” was recently added to the National Register of Historic Places. Taliesin West, home of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation in Phoenix, is registered as a historic landmark. Many other buildings in the Phoenix area were also designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, although some were not built until after his death.
