Modern Architecture

Modern Architecture has really developed  from ancient architecture. You can see this this through its material, design, and ideas. Now in architecture you see weird, different shapes. Made out of glass or mixed materials. You hardly see buildings with columns made, unless its in D.C. Also material like glass is shown on the outside more vs. inside the building. For example, the Farnsworth house in Chicago next to the Fox River. It was designed by architect Mies van der Rohe. It is transparent because it is made mostly of glass and is simple. I prefer modern than ancient architecture because it showcases modern technology and simplicity in it.
