Architectural Design Styles

The Dean Larkin Design team has a great deal of experience with both historical and modern or contemporary architectural design and the designs created utilize features that make the best use of the homes’ surroundings and natural light. This article explores characteristics of modernism, as well as some features of different styles of contemporary architecture.

Modernism 1900-1940

Modern architecture design style came about in two phases, emerging in the early 1900s and generally emphasizing simplicity, functionality, and minimalism. The first phase, Early Modern, modernized exterior features to remove historical connections. During this time low pitched roofs and wide overhangs were popular, as well as asymmetrical facades. The second phase occurred after World War II. In this phase, standardization of the house’s parts was emphasized, and any external ornamentation that was not also functional was removed.

Architectural features common to modernistic homes from 1905-1930

Low-pitched roofs

Wide eaves

Exposed roof rafters

Porches with roofs

Architectural features common to modernistic homes from 1920-1940

Vertical structures with strong horizontal lines

Use of glass and steel

Flat or low-pitched roofs

Use of concrete and steel-frame construction

Lack of adornment on facades

Smooth wall surfaces

Asymmetrical

Contemporary Architecture

Contemporary architecture is a broad term that refers to a style of architecture that features new materials and building techniques that are often used in modern buildings. The style is characterized by simple shapes and open spaces. Contemporary architecture often includes natural materials for construction.

Contemporary design focuses on the interior and how the interior spaces relate to the outdoor spaces. The interior design of a contemporary building often features open floor plans, and architects who work in contemporary styles today often utilize natural light sources such as skylights or large windows to create dramatic effects within their designs. This technique has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its ability to create spacious environments with unique interiors, its impact on heating and cooling in a home, and its positive effect on a home’s inhabitants. Dean Larkin Design is a great proponent of using light in architectural projects.

Contemporary architecture encompasses multiple styles including Postmodernism and Deconstructivism. Postmodernism combines elements of past architectural styles with contemporary designs in a playful way. Deconstructivism focuses on an aesthetic that emphasizes the idea of deconstructing buildings into their basic geometric shapes. High-tech architecture uses state-of-the-art technology in creating futuristic looking structures with unique features.

Postmodernism 1960s – present

Postmodernism was a movement that developed in the late 1960s s as a response to Modernism, often characterized by its incorporation of historical styles and elements into large-scale urban designs, such as high-rise buildings with Classical columns or elaborate friezes. Postmodernism is also known for its use of irony and humor in architecture.

Deconstructivism 1980s – present

Deconstructivism is a postmodern architecture style that combined elements of Brutalism and Expressionism, with a more decorative quality in its use of materials. The name comes from the tendency to deconstruct and distort classic architectural form, focusing on the individual parts rather than the whole. Deconstructivism was developed by architects who were inspired by the work of Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis Kahn. Some of its proponents included Frank Gehry and Zaha Hadid.

Features of deconstructivism included:

Curved surfaces

Walls and floors that joined each other at different angles

Redefinition of shapes and forms

Indistinct transitions between surfaces

The high priests Annas and Caiaphas attend the Crucifixion of Jesus

Saint-Pantaléon church, Troyes, France

According to local tradition, at the end of the eighteenth century the parish priest placed these two statues behind the railing of the gallery that led to the factory council meeting room, creating a theatrical effect. Unfortunately, he cut off the bodies of the statues to maintain comfortable passage within the gallery.

Clocha na hÉireann (Stones of Ireland), Glencolmcille, Co Donegal

The project was a collaborative 1916 commemoration work between stone masons from every county in Ireland. Each stone mason was asked to carve their native county using natural stone of that region. Carvings included everything from county emblems to representations of local mythology, geographical features, architecture and history.

keneset eliyahoo in mumbai, maharashtra, india. it was constructed in 1884, and is mumbai's second-oldest sephardic synagogue.

in the 19th-early 20th centuries, members of the well-to-do baghdadi jewish community - most famously of the sassoon family - did business across south and east asia, often settling there and building synagogues for their communities. keneset eliyahoo was commissioned by jacob elias sassoon and named for his father, elias (eliyahoo) david sassoon. coincidentally, the prophet elijah (eliyahu hanavi, as he's referred to in judaism) is important to the local jewish community. mumbai eventually also came to house several jews from bukhara and persia.

the synagogue used to be known for being entirely sky blue, but this was not how it was originally painted. it was painted in its original colors during its 2019 restoration.
