Constructivism in architecture
Constructivism in architecture is a style that emerged in the early 20th century, emphasizing the use of modern materials like steel, concrete, and glass to create functional, often innovative structures. It focuses on the idea that architecture should serve social and practical purposes, reflecting a sense of progress and modernity. The style often features geometric forms, clean lines, and a sense of transparency and openness. Constructivist architecture seeks to break away from traditional ornamentation, prioritizing functionality and the expression of structure, aiming to integrate art, technology, and social ideals into built environments.
