Question : Technology or Ideology? Which one played a more significant role in the shaping of Modern
Architecture? Give your own opinion.
Answer :
I think Ideology played a more significant role in the shaping of Modern Architecture because
• We know the two Revolutions that shaped Modern architecture . And they are French Revolution and
Industrial Revolution. Now French Revolution was cased by their idealism of Social struggle, human
rights and that also lead then to Industrial Revolution.
• In France revolution Based on Enlightenment Principles of Citizenship and Inalienable rights their
perspective of life and life style was changed . That leaded them to think about modern architecture .
• Ideology actually leaded people to think about invention more over that times political perspective ,
change of their society , their rights and their needs
• Because of the ideology in the history different kind of architectural style was taken place . Modern
architecture is also no exceptional of that .
• Industrial revolution though caused by technology but the idea of this technology and for realizing its
importance in our life, ideology played a vital role behind it .and that leaded us to shape modern
architecture .
