At
first, we studied about Modernism, the style which focused on simplicity and
function of buildings which is quite hard for people to see nowadays. For me I
think that the real reason that makes Modern style become less popular that
before is due to the fact that it is too spiritless, even the style can serve
all the functions but it is still lack of a very important element. The part
that create all the unique feelings and separate the one building from others,
the part that serve as the "identity" for the building.
Later
on, there was a creation of "Postmodernism", the style which
developed from Modernism but instead of just designing simple structures, Postmodernism
also introduced the new style by combining the previous one and ornaments together.
The new style introduced the buildings with the help of
ornamentation, which
is really different from the previous one because Modernism consider ornaments
as unnecessary elements and avoid using it. In my opinion, I really like the
new style, it creates unique identity to each building. The new additional part
helps the building to express the feelings which is a new thing that Modernism
do not have, "Uniqueness".
Not just
new feelings but ornamentation also means new ideas and creations. It helps in
creation new designs that literary outside of the box, from a simple glass box
to difference forms such as triangles and curves. The best example would be the
TWA terminal, which has a stunning designs that not just only beautiful but
meaningful as well. the building use a bird as an inspiration and thanks to the
ornamentation, the TWA terminal can really express itself.
It is
quite an impressive development from Modernism to Postmodernism, we can see
that Postmodernism did not replaced the concept of Modernism, the new style actually
using the modern concept as one of the main components, but adding ornaments in
order to improves the old concept by giving the ability to express itself to
it. We can see that Postmodernism is not so different from Modernism, for me
Postmodernism is like an upgrade version of modernism, a new version that not
only functional but also meaningful.
