\u201cArchitecture <\/a>starts when you carefully put two bricks together. There it begins\u201d.\u00a0Ludwig Mies van der Rohe was the one who stated this. However, it could have been easily said by any other giant in the architecture scene. Whether we like it or not, architecture is part of our daily lives, making it impossible to run away from this man-made wonder. Since the beginning, we felt the need to take cover and create a place to call our own, a place of comfort. This evolved into an actual art form and nowadays we are lucky enough to witness some of the biggest architectural pieces of modern time. We feel so passionately about this subject that today we are going to tell you everything you need to know about mid-century modern architecture!<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Architecture<\/a> is and has always been a reflection of the times we are living in. Not only because of the materials that we use in the construction work but also because the lines, shapes, and dimensions keep changing, trying to adapt to our ever-evolving world. Just like two or three hundred years ago we used to build extremely high gothic buildings trying to reach God, during the mid-twenty century, architects were trying to reach something new, something different. The great architects of the 1940s and 1950s believed their\u00a0forward-looking style could be a vehicle for social change to create a better society. In fact \u2013 fun fact \u2013 it was during this time that the public garages started to appear, trying to mirror that social change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n \"Turner<\/a>\n\n\n\n

Europe was where it all began, in the north, where Scandinavian furniture also first saw the light of day. Architects such as Eero Saarinen<\/strong> or Arne Jacobsen<\/strong> were at the forefront of this movement, right next to personalities such as Le Corbusier<\/strong> and even the great Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer<\/strong>. It quickly made its way across the ocean into American lands, where it immediately received a wide and warm reception, especially in the West Coast, where Palm Springs<\/strong> would come to be the pinnacle of everything mid-century: mid-century design<\/strong>, mid-century homes<\/strong><\/a><\/em>,<\/strong> and mid-century inspiration<\/a><\/em><\/strong> overall. But we\u2019ll get there\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
