Abstract
This research delves into the evolution of architectural styles throughout the 20th century, examining the transition from traditional to modern architecture. The study aims to identify the key factors influencing this transformation and analyze the impact of modernist principles on architectural design and practice. Employing a historical and analytical methodology, the research investigates the works of influential architects and the role of technological advancements. Key findings reveal that a confluence of cultural, technological, and socioeconomic forces drove the shift towards modernism, which focused on functionality, form, and innovation. The research concludes that the modernist movement fundamentally reshaped the built environment, leaving a lasting legacy on contemporary architectural discourse. It is recommended that future studies explore the long-term implications of modernism on urban planning and sustainability, as well as the potential for a synthesis between traditional and contemporary architectural approaches.
