Study of the architectural works from the late 19th century to the present, which encompasses a wide range of styles and movements from Art Nouveau to Brutalism.

Early Modernism: It is the period between the late 19th century and the early 20th century when architects started adopting new materials and techniques to create modern buildings.
Bauhaus Movement: Bauhaus movement was a school of thought that redefined art, design, and architecture in the early 20th century, led by Walter Gropius.
International Style: Movement in architecture that emerged in the 1920s and 1930s, characterized by architectural designs that emphasized form, function, and rationality.
Art Deco: Art Deco was a style of architecture and design that emerged in the 1920s and 1930s, characterized by geometric shapes, bold colors, and lavish ornamentation.
Brutalist: Brutalist architecture is a movement that emerged in the 1950s and 1960s, characterized by the use of raw concrete and distinctive geometric shapes.
Postmodernism: Postmodernism is a movement in architecture that emerged in the late 20th century and was characterized by eclecticism, irony, and pastiche.
Deconstructivism: Deconstructivism is a movement in architecture that emerged in the late 20th century and was characterized by the fragmentation and distortion of conventional architectural forms.
High-Tech: High-tech architecture is a movement that emerged in the 1970s and was characterized by the use of advanced technology and industrial materials in architectural design.
Sustainable Architecture: Sustainable architecture is an approach to architecture that aims to minimize the environmental impact of buildings by using eco-friendly materials and design strategies.
Digital Architecture: Digital architecture is a field of architecture that uses digital technology and computational tools to design and construct buildings.
Critical Regionalism: Critical Regionalism is an approach to architecture that emphasizes the use of local materials and the incorporation of regional cultural and environmental factors in architectural design.
Organic Architecture: Organic architecture is an approach to architecture that emphasizes the integration of buildings with their natural surroundings and the use of organic forms and materials.
Art Deco: Popular in the 1920s and 1930s, this style emphasizes sleek and geometric shapes with decorative motifs.
International Style: Developed in the 1920s and 1930s, this style emphasizes functionality and simplicity, with clean lines and minimal ornamentation.
Bauhaus: Developed in Germany in the 1920s, this style emphasized simplicity and functionality, with emphasis on the use of new materials and technologies.
Brutalism: Developed in the 1950s and 1960s, this style emphasizes raw, unfinished concrete and a functionalist aesthetic.
Postmodernism: Developed in the 1970s and 1980s, this style emphasizes the use of traditional architectural elements in unconventional ways and a rejection of the functionalist aesthetic.
Deconstructivism: Developed in the 1980s and 1990s, this style emphasizes the use of fragmented and disjointed forms and a rejection of traditional notions of order and symmetry.
High-tech: Developed in the 1970s and 1980s, this style emphasizes the use of advanced technology and the incorporation of industrial elements into the design.
Neo-futurism: Developed in the 1990s and 2000s, this style emphasizes the use of fluid and organic forms and a rejection of traditional architectural forms and rules.
