The document discusses modern architecture theories and characteristics. It contrasts two high-rise buildings in Chicago - IBM Plaza representing the clean lines and glass of the International Style, and Marina City representing a more sculptural Mid-Century Modern aesthetic. Modern architecture is characterized by simplified forms, creating ornament from the building's structure and theme. Key figures in modernism include Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies van der Rohe, and Le Corbusier.
