Modern Movement and 20th-Century Home Styles

Modern Movement and 20th-century home styles are residential approaches that explored new relationships between structure, rooms, outdoor life, and everyday routines. Prairie, International Style, Brutalist, ranch, California modern, and tropical modern homes represent distinct movements and regional adaptations. Individual buildings express those differences through the organization of space and their response to the surrounding setting.
