From Bauhaus to Brutalism: Modern Architecture
Eleanor Schrader
The post–World War I era saw a dramatic shift away from
traditional 19th century architecture, as architects, designers,
and social thinkers embraced modern aesthetics, new
materials, and evolving societal needs. Each architectural
movement responded to social and political changes,
influencing both residential and commercial structures.
This course explores the inspirations and innovations behind
major architectural styles, including the Bauhaus, the
International Style, Art Deco, Midcentury Modernism, and
Postmodernism. Through these movements, we will examine
how architecture has continually adapted to shape and reflect
the built environment.
