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.
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
Author’s perspective
Implied
The author tells us that exposing structural materials could only be done at a very high cost and with a very high level of craftmanship. So we can anticipate that the author would probably call this ideal somewhat impractical. Let's keep an open mind, however, since the correct answer might come from a different angle.
a
The repudiation of ███ █████ ██ ████ ██ █████ ██████████ ██████████ ███ █████████
We’re not told that some Modern Movement architects ever rejected this ideal.
b
The ideal was ██████ ████████ ███████ ██ ███ ████ ██ ███████ ███████
We’re not told that this ideal was rarely achieve due to lacking popular appeal. We’re told the high cost was prohibitive, but we have no idea whether lack of popular appeal was another issue facing achievement of this ideal.
c
The ideal was ███████████ ███████ ████ ████████ ████ █████████ ██ ███████ ███
The author never indicates that “most” builders were “unwilling” to attempt it. Maybe they were willing, but the cost was too high to make attempt to achieve that ideal realistic.
The author never connects Wagner and Wright to the ideal of exposing structural materials.
e
The ideal arose ████ █████████ ██████ ████ █████████ █████████
Supported, because we know that the Modern Movement architects' concerns "were chiefly aesthetic." This suggests that their ideal of exposing structural elements, which was unrealistic due to its cost, was motivated by aesthetics.
