What do these buildings all have in common?

These buildings are all classified as modern, which describes architecture built and designed within the social, artistic, and cultural attitude known as "Modernism."

Modernism was all about experimentation, the rejection of rules, and freedom of expression.

The Modern Movement in architecture was born in the 20th century and really took off after World War I when advancements in engineering, building materials, social equality, health, and industry converged.

Modern architecture attempted to help solve a practical problem: a boom in the urban population. New mass production techniques meant buildings (and furniture) could be produced quickly and relatively cheaply.

The development of modern architecture revolutionized our cities and workplaces, and its design principles not only reflected progress in science, health, and social equality, but were also intended to help these ideals thrive.
