The Origin of Modern Movement in Architecture _ Ideal and Utility Premises

[摘要] The rising and development of the Modern Movement in architecture has been so far widely dealt with in the specialized literature. In most cases, the focus was primarily on the valuation of creative achievements of avant-garde architecture. Such an approach seems to be one-sided, considering that architecture has been usually a reflection of economic and social changes. The considerations in this article that focus on achieving success by avant-garde artists in architecture can also shed a new light on the issue of shaping purist trends in this area, in the second decade of the 20th century and in the following, in the Weimar Republic, France, Great Britain and the United States.
