Late Modern – Two
Continues design language of Geometric Modern & Late Modern – 1
No single look dominates
Design plurality even more common
Experimentation with form, shape, construction methods, new materials
Attempt to express information age, consumerism, global economy of the day
Architecture, interiors, furniture more complex than ever
Technology & other means permit designers to create whatever they can imagine

Concepts
Architects, designers continue to explore what it means to be modern in post-industrial age
Experiment with new approaches, methods, means for vision of information age, new technologies, global economy
Alternative styles, expressions more acceptable than ever
New materials, construction methods, digital technology allow designers to create their ideas
Typologies, monumentality, image debated—how to express power, authority, respectability in international context
Individuality continues to drive concepts along with image, branding, research; codes, environmental, & user considerations
Architecture, interior design more important than ever

Characteristics and Motifs
More variations than ever as designers experiment & expand design language
Innovation, individualism fueled by new materials & digital technology combines with existing ones
Exaggeration of Modern characteristics; form & shape even more important; few visible ties to past
High Tech—extreme, complex technology; building as machine; limits of materials, construction pushed
Minimalism—more extreme simplicity, repetition, articulation, greater flexibility; more emphasis on form, shape
Expressionism—revival earlier to depict spiritual, functional, programmatic aspects of design; design as sculpture
Motifs—none common to period
