All in Futurism
The industrial revolution allowed architects to move away from history and religion and more towards the future.
It’s been ninety-nine years since the decline of futurism, but those long, aggressive lines still find themselves in today’s buildings, some of which evoke an other-worldly presence.
When you look at any building, you automatically know what function it serves and who it’s meant for. Architecture needs no explanation.
Like art, architecture is subjective. It’s no wonder commercial buildings have more Futurist elements while residential ones are often embellished.
