    Modernism and post modernism

    Modernism
    The municipality of last semesters design can be an example of modernist
    architecture characterized by its clean lines geometric shapes and minimalistic
    aesthetics. I tried to emphasize functionality and simplicity over ornate decoration s
    .the use of matters such as galss and concrete gives it a contemporary look .

    1. Clean lines: the formal developments features straight lines that compose two
    rectangular figures which through manipulation get in to the final form .
    2. Geometric shapes: the shapes I used when coming up with my form were two
    rectangular shapes wanting to represent power of the municipality and the
    community.
    3. Functionality: the building is designed with strong emphasis on functionality ensuring
    the layout and features serve practical purposes efficiently.
    4. Material I used: the main material used is glass which creates a contemporary look.
    5. Open spaces and natural light: the design as much as possible strives to create open
    spaces that serve as good lighting opportunities.
    1. Entrance and Lobby: The entrance area is spacious and welcoming, with a large lobby
    that provides a clear path for visitors to navigate the building. The lobby may feature a
    reception desk, seating areas, and information kiosks.

    2. Public Spaces: The floor plan includes public spaces such as meeting rooms, council
    chambers, and community areas that are easily accessible from the main entrance. These
    areas are designed to accommodate a variety of activities and events.

    3. Administrative Offices: The layout includes well-organized administrative offices for


    municipal staff, with designated workstations, meeting rooms, and support spaces. The
    offices are typically located in a central area for easy communication and collaboration.

    4. Service Areas: Service areas such as utility rooms, storage spaces, and maintenance
    facilities are strategically placed for efficient operations and maintenance of the building.

    5. Accessibility: The floor plan incorporates features to ensure accessibility for individuals
    with disabilities, such as ramps, elevators, and designated parking spaces.

    6. Natural Light: The design maximizes natural light throughout the building by
    strategically placing windows and skylights to create a bright and inviting interior
    environment.

    7. Flexible Spaces: The floor plan includes flexible spaces that can be easily adapted for
    different uses or reconfigured as needed. This allows the building to accommodate
    changing requirements over time.
