    Postmodern architecture rejected the pure forms and neutral colors of Modernism, instead drawing from all available methods and materials to incorporate ornamentation and references. Le Corbusier developed the "Five Points of Architecture" including pilotis, free floor plans, roof gardens, horizontal windows, and free facades, which he applied in works like the Villa Savoye. Alvar Aalto pioneered organic, natural materials in architecture and furniture design, with innovations like the Paimio chair that facilitated patient breathing.

    1. Describe with example, how the Contemporary Architecture is grateful to Postmodern


    Architecture.

    Contemporary style encompasses a range of styles developed in the latter half of the 20th century.
    Pieces feature softened and rounded lines as opposed to the stark lines seen in modern design. Interiors
    contain neutral elements and bold color, and they focus on the basics of line, shape and form.

    Distinctive element of contemporary architecture is the expressiveness of form and design. The
    buildings incorporate innovative and creative designs which are meant to be noticed and appreciated.
    The aesthetic sense is very much emphasized in the design of structures. There is also a wide range of
    material combinations to bring out contrast or uniformity.

    Postmodern architecture rejects the notion of pure or perfect form, instead it draws from: all methods,
    materials, forms, & colors available to architects. Moves away from the neutral white colors seen in
    modernism the return of "wit, ornament and reference" to architecture.

    2. Explain Le-Corbusier’s different type of works with specific examples?

    Le Corbusier developed a set of architectural principles that dictated his technique, which he called "the
    Five Points of Architecture:

     The Pilotis – a grid of columns to replace load-bearing walls, allowing architects to make more
    use of floorspace.

     Free floor plans – flexible living spaces that could adapt to changing lifestyles, thanks to the
    absence of load-bearing walls.

     Roof gardens – a flat roof covered in vegetation, which keeps moisture consistent and regulates
    temperature.

     Horizontal windows – cut through non load-bearing walls, these strips provide even light and
    panoramic views.

     Free facades – open and closed sections that allow the facade to actively connect or separate
    interior and exterior design elements.

    3. How did Alvar Alto contribute to the Interior Design in the Modern Era, explain with examples.

    Finnish architect Alvar Aalto was a pioneer of modern architecture and design, especially in his use of
    organic, naturally derived materials. While his best works in architecture were constructed in Finland,
    his fame in the U.S. came due to his furniture and glassware design.

    His ingenuity and experimentation with wood in furniture production led to several patencies in the
    1930s. One of his designs was the Paimio chair which facilitates the breathing of Tuberculosis patients.
