neo modernism style in architecture

This Italian design movement emerged as a counter to the increasingly loose definitions associated with Postmodernism. As the word ‘Modernism’ in its title implied there were some ideological links with the attachment to a functional aesthetic and rejection of past styles by the international avant-garde of the 1920s and 1930s. However, Neo-Modernists acknowledged the significance of an individual aesthetic as a ‘functional’ dimension of design, together with their acceptance of a pluralist outlook rather than the search for universal solutions associated with the Modernist cause.The first woman to win the Pritzker Prize for Architecture in its 26 year history, ZAHA HADID (1950-) has defined a radically new approach to architecture by creating buildings, such as the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati, with multiple perspective points and fragmented geometry to evoke the chaos of modern life.
