 | | Modernist Architecture and the Influence of Henry Ford | | by Ferdine, Aug 24, 2008 | | Modernist architects and designers of the early twentieth century were entranced by the efficiency and symbolic power of machines. The form of the machine was derived entirely from its function, and according to Modernist thought, this made it beautiful. Karl Ewald's text The Beauty of Machines (1925-6) contained the axiom, "A good modern machine is an object of the highest aesthetic value". | | Comments(0) Liked It: 2 |
