From Bauhaus to Our House

From what I've read I think the writer have given good point about the modern architecture and those in the old time and I agree with that. The architecture in different periods has come with different features as well as different emphasis. For example, modern one may emphasize more on structure, new innovations or building technology. THe buildings come out in similar pattern; "glass box", cover with glass and quite minimal with intelligent structural system like bracing, load bearing, etc. , but they are quite lack of sculptural or precise craftsmanship. While those like Greek, Classical or Roman period, in my opinion, focus more on the way buildings look as we can see clearly in Greek columns; doric, ionic, corinthian. Not only those columns play roles in term of structure, but they also have meaning in terms of icon.
