TIMELINE OF
MODERNIST ARCHITECTURE
+ DESIGNS BY LEON KRÜGER ARCHITECTS
The buildings designed by Leon Krüger Architects (“LKA”) contextualised within the development of Modernist Architecture from the 1940s to 2003
1940s to 1970s International Style
(Left) SEAGRAM BUILDING - The International style epitomises the modernist architectural movement of the 20th century - Form follows Function - simplified form and elimination of ornamentation - stark, uncompromisingly rectangular geometry.
LKA - SUNNINGHILL HOSPITAL, JOHANNESBURG,1991
LKA – REPUBLICOBSERVATORY, SUTHERLAND, 1978
1940s to 1970s International style
1950s onwards Brutalist Architecture
(Left) SEAGRAM BUILDING - The International style epitomises the modernist architectural movement of the 20th century - Form follows Function - simplified form and elimination of ornamentation - stark, uncompromisingly rectangular geometry.
(Left) J EDGAR HOOVER BUILDING, WASHINGTON - From the French “béton brut” (raw concrete) - Use of concrete, striking repetitive angular geometries and the exposure of the building's functions in the exterior of the building.
LKA - CSIR CONVENTION CENTRE, PRETORIA, 1975
LKA - SUNNINGHILL HOSPITAL, JOHANNESBURG,1991
LKA – REPUBLICOBSERVATORY, SUTHERLAND, 1978
1940s to 1970s International style
1950s onwards Brutalist Architecture
1970 onwards High-tech Architecture
(Left) HSBC HONG KONG - A bridge between modernism and post-modernism - incorporates elements of high-tech industry & technology - visual emphasis internal steel and/or concrete skeletal structure - clear glass façade, visible network of support beams exposed behind it.

(Left) PORTLAND USA PUBLIC SERVICES BUILDING – Post-modernist Architecture continues to influence present-day architecture - return of "wit, ornament and reference" to architecture in response to the formalism of the International Style of modernism.

1940s to 1960s Googie Architecture
(Left) MCDONNELL PLANETARIUM - A subdivision of expressionist, or futurist architecture - upswept roofs and, often, curvaceous, geometric shapes, and bold use of glass, steel and neon.

Late 1980s Deconstructivism
(Right) IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM, MANCHESTER, UK - Fragmentation, non-linear processes of design, distortion and dislocation of structure
and envelope - move away from 'rules' of modernism such as "form follows function” & "purity of form“.
