Modern building is the built environment, structures and buildings that emerged after World War II. Modernism has its roots in Europe around 1930s / 1940s, with International Style of architecture. At this time moder n architecture spread through different parts of the world like North America, South America, Africa and Asia Pacifi c regions; not only as an architectural style but representing culture, comfort and lifestyle at large. The term 'modern' was first used to describe architecture in 1812 when it meant something new. The term was applie d to \"new\" ideas or technologies either by 19th century cultural critics or historians writing about the arts or by 20th century designers reacting to the events of late 19th century Europe. It followed styles now sometimes known as Art Deco and Streamline Moderne. Modernist architecture is difficult to define, in some ways androgynous and has strongly influenced the later designs of organisations. The prime motives behind the birth of modern building were: (i) To seek a new form for buildings in response to changed needs; (ii) To provide clarity in planning concepts by setting these out clearly in architectural drawings; (iii) To use technology developed during World War II (such as systems house-building techniques), and thus take a dvantage of rapid methods of construction; and (iv) To bring together the disparate elements needed for building, such as land, finance, labour, and professional exp ertise into one office
