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.

Author's perspective · Modern Movement declined because of its ideal of exposing structural elements

Question Type

Analogy (RC)

What was the relationship between the new methods and pre-twentieth century construction? "Up until the twentieth century, construction had been carried out by a relatively small number of tradespeople, but as the building industry evolved, buildings came to be built by many specialized subcontractors working independently. The architect's design not only had to accommodate a sequence of independent operations, but now had to reflect the allowable degree of inaccuracy of the different trades." Before the 20th century, construction was done by only a small number of people. But after, many more people worked on different aspects of construction independently. This led to more inaccuracy. Let's look for an answer that shows an increase in the number of people involved in making something leads to more inaccuracy.

Clothing produced on ██ ████████ ████ ██ ████ █████████ ████████ ████ ████████ ████████ ██ █ ██████ ███████ ██████

This is the best answer. It shows how having more people involved in production (assembly line vs. single garment maker) leads to more inaccuracy (less precisely tailored). This is analogous to the way in which more people involved in construction during/after the 20th century led to more inaccuracy.
