So what, if anything, can you tell us about architectural history between the 1920's and up?
Allright
Parallo, you asked for it, i'll give you the first 20 year sum up. Picking it out of the air....now!
In the 1920's the foundations of modernism were laid.
Later on a further development on Modernism was made, architects began embracing the style and new ideas were born. The sliding walls-concept was reinvented(i recon i've heard arabians using the same constuction) and the removing bearing walls in place for pillars, first introduced in the 1920's, were now seen as a distinguishing part of the Modernistic arhictecture. The supports bearing the whole building made rows of glasses across the facade possible and changed architecture forever, a feat it was used to by now.
The fact that it broke so many traditions was the reason for the reactions to be, though they would diminish as the new century rumbled on. One of these reactions alongside the slowly dissapating nationalromanticism, predating modernism by a decade, and modernism was neo-klassicism. Having lost most of the craftmanship when the industrial society was racing on, neo-klassicism had sparse decorations(this might be an indicator to say that Modernism was already deep within society and had leaked onto even the most phanatic advocators). Scandinavia is said to have built the best neo-classical buildings.
By the 1930s neo-klassicism was still going strong but a counterreaction was once more on the way. In the mid thirties Modernism was once more back and going strong.
