The four masters of modern architecture are: Frank Lloyd Wright (Frank Lloyd Wright) and Walter Gropius (Walter Gropius), Le Corbusier (Le Corbusier), and Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe (Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe).
1. Frank Lloyd Wright possessed an architectural vision that revered nature. Wright's prairie-style homes reflect human activity, purpose, technology and the synthesis of nature they make a fundamental change in the housing and the home site, the garden almost into the heart of the living room, inside and outside of the mixed as one, as human life. In this way, the living room is in the bosom of nature.
If our architecture is to be alive, he argued, it should reflect the more vivid human condition that exists here today. Architecture is where human beings are concerned, the higher forms of expression of human nature, and as such, it is essentially the greatest record of human literature and the most faithful record of times, places and people.
2. Gropius said that there must be a brand-new conception of design to influence the German architectural world, otherwise no architect would be able to realize the ideals he had in mind, and he would only have to imitate the antiquities that had become commonplace.
European architectural structure and modeling complex and ornate, spires, corridors, window openings, vaulted ceilings, whether it is the Gothic style or Victorian style, the emphasis on the concept of artistic contagiousness so that it is a profound embodiment of religious myths of the influence of secular life, so that the building can not be adapted to the industrialized mass production of the building.
3, Le Corbusier in 1926 put forward five new ideas of architecture, these ideas include: the ground floor overhead columns, roof gardens, free planes, free elevations and horizontal long windows.
People have compared this architectural era to the Machine Age, and Le Corbusier was the most influential architect of our time, as well as, a noted social reformer. He was passionate when it came to examining great buildings, spacious spaces, trees and statues throughout the city.
4. Mies established a contemporary standard of popular architecture, and his architectural ideas have become known throughout the world. As the father of steel and glass construction, Mies's concept of "less is more," which centered his architectural and artistic vision, has influenced the world.
Mies, who played a considerable role in many fields, said in his autobiography, "I don't want to be wonderful, I just want to be better!" His architectural genius in the age of technology was on full display in the Lake Shore Drive Apartments, which he designed while working at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago. Until his death in 1969, Mies remained alone in his Chicago apartment working on his designs.
