Modern architecture, or modernist architecture, is a style that emerged with the onset of industrialization. With large-scale shifts in technology and society, architecture too was beginning to change in the early 20th century.

Modernist architecture has led to the construction of a wide array of buildings throughout the world. Let's take a look at some of its finest examples.
