Modernism, contrary to what some might think, is actually an imprecise term applied to widely divergent buildings and often conflicting design ideologies. Martin Moeller, the Museum’s senior vice president and curator, defines and explains modernism and its varied branches.
Three Movements in Architecture Lecture Series
In this new series, the National Building Museum explores three significant periods in architectural history Greek Revival, Modernism, Art Deco. Noted experts will discuss the physical characteristics of each movement and how culture, politics, and technical innovations are reflected in the architecture of those times. Then, receive information on how to give friends and family a self-guided tour of local examples.
You may also enjoy the lecture about Art Deco.
