when you think of what's modern around you, most of the time the first thing you think of is a high rising building that towers over the streets, with big glass windows to flood the interior with light... And we all know what those look like.
So I thought id give you some examples of things not so obvious.
In my opinion if something comes under the term modernism, it is true to itself, it doesn't hide the material its constructed from, and it serves the purpose it was created for and its timeless. This simple glass storage jar is what it is, it doesn't hide the material its made out of.
Stainless steel bench, weather proof, easy to construct and fit... probably didn't cost a lot either.
lighting needed on both sides of the street... but why have two lots of metal lampposts when you can have two lots of lighting on the same one. The lighting at the top is wide to create sufficient illumination.
Most people think that modern buildings should be all glass, but how about a building that has solar panels all on one side... this is a practical and effective way of utilising naturally available energy. With simple strip of glass windows to light the stairwell.
Compact bathroom, constructed to take up the smallest of spaces in order to make more room in high rising student accommodation Its plastic walls make easy to clean for the constant changing in tenants, created purely for practicality.
