Modernism referred to in the history of architecture in general a non-deferrable Architecture Period. Often you mean by that the internationally used language of form, located within the now classic modern art mentioned area developed in the early 20th century and is partly used to this day - in the definition of classical architecture by Vitruvius. Likewise, the tendencies since the revolution architecture and classicism called modernity in the period around 1800, as well as the most recent and contemporary trends, which is why only recognizable in the current context, which term is meant. So also can postmodernism or the current Neohistorismus as modern are referred to, depending on the context.

Modernity is characterized by the rejection of the concept of ornament, this was Adolf Loos marked. Ornament and Crime (1908) is the title of the essay in which Adolf Loos is committed against the (ornamental) ornament. Originally intended as a counter to the diverse style imitation of the 19th century with its ornamental overload, modernity was about the Bauhaus in Weimar and Dessau in later propagated to its own style. In the USA, Modern then found from the 1930s and 1940s and spread from there conquered almost the whole world.

Towards the end of the 19th century in Europe showed an increasing tendency to break with the traditional features of the architecture and to search for the 20th century appropriate designs. This urge arose from the industrial revolution and the dissemination of their developments such as the steam engine, railway and electricity. This changed the lives of the population generally and led to a growth of cities, where settled industries and civil structures formed. The Modernisme (Art Nouveau and in general) is therefore an urban and bourgeois style.

Concurrent with the rise of Modernism, the narrowing walls of Barcelona were demolished and the urban expansion in the Eixample tackled. Therefore can easily find numerous witnesses of this architectural style, and Barcelona is one of the cities with the most Art Nouveau buildings in the world. The city became an artistic center. Painters and writers of Modernism as Ramon Casas or Santiago Rusiñol met at the local artist Els Quatre Gats. The possibility of using this architecture to satisfy the desire for modernity to express the Catalan identity and to point to a discreet way his wealth, then explains the widespread patronage of the upper classes, such as between Eusebi Güell and Antoni Gaudí.

The term International Style was created by Philip C. Johnson and Henry-Russell Hitchcock as an artificial term for minimalist and functionalist formed tendencies of European modern architecture of the 1920s and 1930s. For the first time it was as the title of the exhibition at MoMA in 1932 and in the subsequent publication (The International Style: Architecture Since 1922) used. The authors suggested so that the new architecture is internationalized and separated on local conditions, they also indicated for the first time that it has developed a new style of architectural history.

Most modern architects held contrary to what Johnson and Hitchcock modernity rather for a new design methodology as a style. Earlier there was in Europe a similar name, International Architecture, which among other Ludwig Hilberseimer as the title of the exhibition catalog The apartment in Stuttgart took in 1927. The art historian Hitchcock and Johnson chose another name, the word style included, and described the modern architecture style based on clear criteria which they explained by means of 83 by Architects names alphabetically arranged instance objects. Especially Walter Gropius resisted the term "style". The book Hitchcock and Johnson, which simply stated the visual and aesthetic qualities of modernism, became a kind of aesthetic manual in the USA and exerted a great influence on the further development of the local architecture.

Structuralism in architecture and urban planning emerged in the Union of Architects CIAM (Congrès Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne) after the Second World War. From 1928 to 1959 were CIAM a discussion of the most important platforms for architecture and urbanism. The building design is not uniquely predetermined, architecture is conceived as open-ended process. Lose conventional design rules their meaning. The built and to be built structures are seen as an expression of social and functional relationships. This particular aesthetic and configurational design schemes of the multiplication of are modules and basic geometric shapes used.
