Mid-century architecture

Mid-century architecture is a design style from roughly the 1940s to the 1960s characterized by clean lines, simple forms, and functional spaces. It emphasizes open layouts, large windows, and indoor-outdoor connections, often using new materials like steel and glass. The style reflects the optimism and technological progress of that era, blending modern aesthetics with practicality. Typical features include flat or low-pitched roofs, minimal ornamentation, and integration with the landscape, creating a sense of harmony between the building and its environment. It remains highly influential and admired for its timeless, streamlined look.
