INTRODUCTION
The term theory of architecture consider important role which differentiate intellectual from
practical knowledge. With this consideration, total basis for judging the merits of different
projects or building determined. These kind of reasoned judgements are more important in
creative process (Sorokin, Eroshenko and Malyshev, 2018). With continuous creative designed, in
the present report essay consider on postmodernism and housing that are most important to build
environment. Furthermore, it demonstrate capable of generating visions in future cities that how
environmental aims might be accomplished and plans implemented.
MAIN BODY
History of Postmodern and housing
Modernism in the particular arts that refers with rejection of Victorian era of traditions and
exploration in industrial age. This combine of rejections of certain past experimentation for
accomplish political purposes defined from late 19th century to middle of 20th century. In 1960th
modernism reached at peak that describe period which followed during 1960s and 1970s. Post-
modernism is dismissal in favour of anything goes approach to particular subject matter, material
and processes. The main shift of modernism can be partly credited in new freedoms that enjoyed
by certain artists in late 1800s. In traditional manner, one painter was commissioned by a patron
that create specific work. In late 19th century witnessed, there are many artists generally capable
of seizing more time that pursue subjects in personal interest (El Amrousi, Elhakeem and
Caratelli, 2019).
At this same time, in growing field of psychology that turned with analysis of human
experience inward which encouraged more abstract kind of science which inspired visual arts to
follow that time. In the shift of technology creation, it can be stated that material and techniques
in art making. Furthermore, experimentation became more important that also gave resulting
work wider reach. In this way, in late 1800s printing advances meant that posters of this artwork
widely promoted for increase public’s awareness of design and art. In respect to develop ferried
experimental ideas in popular culture (Petrović, Keković and Petrović, 2017). As per official
debuting in 1874, it can be stated that first art modernist movement successfully develop. With
different leaders, impressionists use to focus on modern scenes that was direct rejection in
classical subject matter. In order to considered subsequent movements, post impressionism,
1

constructivism, fauvism, etc. were like sampling of those people who following experimental
path that started by impressionism (Mamani and Bastos, 2017).
In respect to look for different experiments, it can be stated that Dada movement took as
experimentation in further consideration, by rejecting traditional skills and launching art
rebellion which embraced absurdity and nonsense. With ideas that are appeared in 1915,
movement was generally made official in 1918. Each and every abstract expressionist work
generally functioned when both document of particular artist generally subconscious (El
Amrousi, Elhakeem and Caratelli, 2019).
Postmodern and housing architecture
There is wide difference between modern and postmodern architecture that focus on issues
of utility, originality and struggle in cosmopolitan and local values. In this aspect, it can be stated
that modern architecture is recognisable with its adherence towards Le Corbusier’s dictum. It
involves form follows functions (3F) it means that structures are generally given aesthetic merit
that based on utility. Furthermore, postmodern response rejects this philosophy without
considering any specific replacement. As all of modern architecture is part of a cosmopolitan
look that is uniform and purposeful in post modernism that seeks more unique look which
emphasis originality and further local flavour.
Modernism in Architecture: Le Corbusier
In 1887-1965, pioneer of modern commercial architecture. In the world, transitioning to
urban living, Le Corbusier and modernists sought that helps to maximise utility of limited
spaces. There are many commercial structures that were made with an eye towards the given
aesthetic. In this consideration, such as how they fit into neighbourhood and page homage for
European fashion (Sorokin, Eroshenko and Malyshev, 2018). Le Corbusier focused that how
structure made that design stemmed in entire from its use. This kind of philosophy in architecture
generally summed from 3F. If we are looking at designs of Le Corbusier, we can also look for
different designs that can be seen in philosophy at work
Postmodernism in Architecture: Michael Graves
As other architects, Michael graves who was former follower of Le Corbusier which is
found which look to be soulless and stifling. At the end of life, it can be stated that skycrapers
and apartment building is like as Gustavo Capanema palace that were often stood each area. In
all over surrounded, Graves rejected ideas for function’s centrality in design and set for
