MODERNISM
Late Modernism, also known as High-tech architecture or Structural Expressionism, is an architectural style that emerged in the 1970s, incorporating elements of high-tech industry and technology into building design. High-tech architecture appeared as an extension of previous ideas which were helped by even more technological advances.

MODERNISM
It served as a bridge between modernism and post-modernism. In the 1980s, high-tech architecture became more difficult to distinguish from post-modern architecture. Some of its themes and ideas were later absorbed into the style of Neo-Futurism art and architectural movement.There were some gray areas as to where one category ends and the other begins.

MODERNISM
Like Brutalism, Late Modernism buildings
revealed their structure on the outside as
well as the inside, but with visual emphasis
placed on the internal steel and concrete
skeleton structure as opposed to exterior
concrete walls.

MODERNISM
For eg. in buildings such as the Pompidou Centre, this idea of revealed structure is taken to the extreme, with apparently structural components serving little or no structural role. In this case, the use of "structural" steel is a stylistic or aesthetic matter.

It was an exaggerated distorted version of
Modernism.
Excessive repetition via offsetting of

Use of metal and glass curtain walls firmly
links it.

Glass house
It was designed by Philip Johnson as his own residence.
An important and influential project for Johnson and for modern architecture.
Building is an essay in minimal structure, geometry, proportion, and the effects of transparency and reflection.
House is an example of early use of industrial materials such as glass and steel in home design.

It is a complex building in Paris.It was designed in the style of high-tech architecture by the architectural team of Richard Rogers and Renzo Piano, along with Gianfranco Franchini. It houses the Public Information Library, a vast public library, the Musée National d'Art Moderne, which is the largest museum for modern art in Europe, and IRCAM, a centre for music and acoustic research.

The project was awarded to the team in
an architectural design competition and it
was the first time in France that
international architects were allowed to
participate.
World-renowned architects Oscar
Niemeyer, Jean Prouvé and Philip
Johnson made up the jury which would
select one design out of the 681 entries.

Initially, all of the functional structural
elements of the building were colour-coded:
green pipes are plumbing, blue ducts are

encased in yellow, and circulation elements
and devices for safety like fire extinguishers
are red.
The Centre was completed in 1977.
