    The document discusses the spread of early modernism in architecture in Europe in the early 20th century. It provides examples of key modernist buildings from the Netherlands and England during this period. Some of the earliest and most prominent examples included Willem Dudok's town hall in Amsterdam from 1924-1930, which used modernist styles and warm materials to achieve formal dignity. The De La Warr Pavilion on the English coast, completed in 1936, was also an early example of modernism in England with its curving forms and use of steel and glass. The document outlines some of the key characteristics of early modernist architecture in Europe during this spread, including an emphasis on function over form and the use of new materials like reinforced concrete.

     Design in early 20th century was dominated by eclectic historicism but still the
    idea of modernism began to spread.
     Government and established professionals were bound to eclecticism they
    had a thought that excellence could only be found in implementing historic

    begin with interior arrangements preplanned.
     Defination of Machine Age
     New works were initiated with use of new materials like steel and Reinforced
    concrete to create forms which were not possible earlier.
     Materials like Steel Reinforced Rods were placed in framework before
    concrete is poured to give strength to materials.
     Use of concrete became a major part of construction
     Until World War 2 the countries like The Neitherlands were found most
    acceptive towards modernism in 1920’s and 1930’s.
    Main characteristics of the modern interior
    design style are..

     Clean lined design.


     Function before form.
     Avoids excessive accessories and decorations.
     Minimal use of textures.
