“Form follows Function” – Form follows function. That was the most important Credo of the Modern. The architecture, epoch developed in the early 20th century. Century, after the First world war. Building of steel, glass, concrete, and brick, all of which are distinguished by a sleek simplicity that were her trademark. Nevertheless, the Modern is summed up in its totality, is so diverse and different in their developments and designs. Expressionism, Bauhaus, New Building, New objectivity, functionalism, minimalism, and other currents are associated with the Modern. It is established that it represents a turning point in the design, the architect continues to influence and inspire.
