avantgarden

Avantgarden is a term used to describe a style of architecture and design that emerged in the early 20th century, particularly in the 1920s and 1930s. The term is a blend of "avant-garde" and "garden," reflecting its innovative and experimental nature. Avantgarden architecture is characterized by its use of unconventional materials, such as concrete, glass, and steel, as well as its emphasis on functionality and modernism. Key figures in the avantgarden movement include Le Corbusier, who is known for his influential work "Villa Savoye" in Poissy, France, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, whose "Barcelona Pavilion" is a notable example of avantgarden design. The movement sought to break away from traditional architectural styles and create spaces that were both aesthetically pleasing and practical. Avantgarden architecture has had a significant impact on modern design and continues to influence contemporary architectural practices.
