ABSTRACT
The rise of modern architecture led to a big change in Western and global architectural history. Instead of sticking to old ways, architects focused on new ideas and progress. They wanted to use science in their designs, which created a style of architecture that was used all over the world and based on logic and efficient materials. This kind of architecture is known for being useful and simple, without a lot of decorations. It changed over time, from making cities more friendly to people to connecting with local cultures. Later, postmodern architecture came about as a reaction to the limits of modernism. It wanted to make designs with more meaning, cultural identity, and history. Postmodern architecture is creative and diverse, not the same all the time. It cares about people and how they communicate. It looks different too, with curved lines and decorations. Modern and postmodern architectures are both special and unique. They show different styles and ideas because of when and why they were made.
