Compairing Modern and Post Modern Architecture

Although most people have a general understanding of architecture and types of styles, many do not know specific movements. In my opinion, Modern and Post Modern movements are very important and interesting because they contrast so heavily even though post modern was right after the modern style. Although people have probably seen both types of architecture, many do not know how to catorize them even with their stark differences. Modernism was based on a simple, elegant design that did not disrupt the environment while post modernism used bright materials and interesting shapes to draw attention to itself. Since the styles were so radical for their time periods, it is nessisary to break them down into what created them and how they grew to global proportions. This museum more importantly will reflect how society changed during those years and the ties that art and architecture share. It also has the potential to inspire young architects to create a new style from two old types of design.
