The proponents of the Modern Movement in architecture considered that, compared with the historical styles that it replaced, Modernist architecture more accurately reflected the . ██████████ ██████ ██ █████████████████ ██████████ ███ ███ ██████ ██████ ██ ███ ██████ ████████ ████████ ██ ██ ███████ █████ ████ ███ ████████ ████████ ██ ████████ ██ ██████ ████ ██████ ██ ██ ██ ████ ████ ███ ███ █████████ ████ ██████ ██████

Intro topic · the Modern Movement in architecture
Supporters of the movement said Modernist stuff reflected modern technology and the newest building methods better than older architecture styles. But, it didn't fit how buildings were actually made.

Historical context · Modern Movement not popular with the public, but its supporters pushed it on people
Supporters got the movement to become mainstream, and highlighted only "modern" aspects of famous architects.

Elaborate on author's perspective · How Modern Movement declined
Modernist architects were ignorant of building methods and were too focused on aesthetics.

Additional important factor · Construction industry became more specialized and fragmented
This meant an architect's design had to allow for a bunch of different operations. But Modernist designs wanted to expose the structural materials of the building, which was difficult and expensive to do when so many different construction operations were involved.
