And if I may, some special attention to my personal friends Adrian Clement and James Gatt a.k.a. Pineapple Park (Australia).

Modernism is a philosophical movement that began during the late 19th and early 20th century as a result of cultural trends and changes in western society. Modern architecture was as a milestone in the history of Western architecture or in other words in the history of world architecture, because for the first time, the attitude of the tradition, history and past changed its direction as a source of inspiration of architecture and future and development were introduced as main objective and subject of architecture.

Make 5 to 6 pages with Annotated Bibliography and Chicago style footnoted make sure please look at Grammar also use the references in this page list 6 references should be in the paper
USE WHAT YOU HAVE HERE you don’t have to write about the architecture background like when where he born most of the things you going stick with the two building…!!
SO MAKE A ARGUMENT for each paragraph do like this As a question (Does Postmodern architecture style is same as Modern architecture style or not) My opinion of course not its different from each other as style because ATT building has arch on front entry that makes a that building become postmodern Also flower window that’s uses in churches makes that postmodern ( from past use styles means postmodern)and different levels each other different size scale buildings different usage each places different time period built so can make discussion answers and compare this two building to each like this to make a argument for each paragraph also write about surroundings economic business around their for each building (postmodern means if you use something from any style from backing day before 1968 Include introduction and conclusion also compare these two building ATT building now it’s a (Sony Building ) and Segram building by two different architects also don’t give info about the person only focus the building compare two each other all information here so make argument two each compare and contrast make argument each other.
Two Different Stories from the Style of Design
Introduction
The beginning of the postmodern architecture as an international style is cited that it started in the year 1950s, but the architecture did not become a style on its own until the year 1970s. The style is still influencing the modern architectural style[footnoteRef:1]. The formalized together with the functional shapes and space are now being replaced with a diverse aesthetics. As we had many cultural fashions, the most pronounced and the visible ideas of the postmodernism can clearly be seen in architecture. People have also been describing postmodern architecture as the neo-eclectic where we have the reference and ornament that had come to replace the modern architecture that is unornamented. The eclecticism always has a combination of the non-orthogonal angles together with other surfaces that are unusual. In this discussion, we are going to compare two buildings the The AT&T Building, now known as the Sony Tower and the Seagram building. [1: Jun, Ren. "The history of future architecture."

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
He was born in the year 1886 and died in the year 1969. He was an architect of the German –American origin. He was mainly referred to as mies because it was his surname. Many architects tend to refer to him as the pioneer of the modern architecture[footnoteRef:2]. Mies just like his post-world War I contemporaries, he decided to venture into a new architectur.
2. BIOGRAPHY
George Nelson was born to Simeon and Lillian (nee Canterow)
Nelson on May 29th 1908 in Hartford, Connecticut, USA.
He spent his high school years at Hartford Public High School and
graduated in 1924 at the age of 16.
Studied architecture at Yale University.
He graduated in 1928, and after lecturing at the Yale School of Fine
Arts gained a bachelors degree of fine arts with honours in 1931.
He attended graduate studies at Catholic University in Washington,
D.C. and when graduating in 1932 received the renowned Rome
Prize providing him a two year stipend to spend at the American
Academy in Rome.
“The mission of the American Academy in Rome was, and still is to
foster the pursuit of advanced research and independent study in
the fine arts and humanities.”
He used this opportunity to travel extensively through Europe, to
learn Italian and most notably to meet and interview some of the
most prominent European Architects of the day.
3. INFLUENCES ON GEORGE NELSON
DESIGNERS IN EUROPE
In 1932 Nelson won a Prix de Rome and along with it two years of
study and travel in Europe, where he discovered the modern
movement of architecture.
After completing this study Nelson turned to writing due to a lack
of construction post-war and interviewed many designers of the
emerging modern movement, including:
Le Corbusier
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
Walter Gropius
“everything that is worth anything is always modern
because it can’t be anything else” - George Nelson
4. D. J. DEPREE
DePree was the president of the
Herman Miller company.
Nelson initially turned down the
job DePree offered him, before
DePree came back six months
later after being unable to find
anyone more suitable.
Nelson saw him as a teacher as Nelson and DePree
he was his first real introduction
to industrial design.
5. FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT
Wright told Nelson architecture was “like a boy falling in
love with a girl”
“I followed him around like a puppy for about ten
years. He was my hero, I wanted his secret” - George
Nelson
Talliesin West, F. L. Wright
6. PEAK MOMENTS
Nelson said his inspiration came from
various defining moments throughout his
life, not necessarily from doing anything in
particular, but merely through being
exposed to something or someone.
Hedrew on these memories and
experiences (often unconsciously) to
provide solutions for his design ideas.
7. INTERESTING FACT
Despite his education in Architecture, he was
most famous for his product design.
