Modern architecture emerged in the early 19th century due to the Industrial Revolution. It is characterized by simple geometric forms, minimalism, and an emphasis on form following function [1]. Some key highlights of early modern architecture include the Crystal Palace built in 1851 and the Eiffel Tower built in 1889, which featured new building materials like iron and glass [2]. Important works of late modern architecture include Frank Lloyd Wright's Unity Temple from 1905 and the Chrysler Building from 1930, which helped popularize the use of steel and concrete in skyscrapers [3].
