Modern Architecture (MA) isn't a different style of architecture from Traditional Architecture (TA). It is the opposite of Traditional Architecture. TA is mostly symmetrical. MA is mostly assymetrical. TA favors windows that are vertical in nature. MA favors windows horizontal in nature. (ex: "ribbon windows"). TA shows and has support underneath structures. MA likes cantilevers. TA uses trim to to hide joints which creates more detail. MA butts joints together and is minimal in detail. TA creates vertical and uplifting spaces while MA creates horizontal oppressing space. TA respects gravity. MA thumbs it's nose at gravity.
