Conclusion

During these lectures I had the opportunity to get to know better the history of modern Architecture, but also I had the possibility to see how architects go through complicated design process before getting to the final solution. As an instance, the great relationship between Rietveld and Mrs Schroder made me think how is important to take in consideration the needs of the person who is going to use the space and establish a dialogue and a strong collaboration with the client . I was also quite interested in the way art and design are related and how movements like cubism, futurism, purism influenced forms, shapes and colors in architecture.

Also i think art is often related to what happens in history and it's influenced by political and philosophical movements. Futurism as an instance developed just before the fascist era, in a moment when the ideals of patriotism and nationalism were spreading all over the country and the first world war was devastating europe.The movement of the arts and crafts as well had as the maximum exponent Jhon Ruskin who believed in socialists principles and was really influenced by marxism.

During my research for my project I had a look at different artists and they influenced me and my design process, leading me to solutions that I couldn't have discovered otherwise. I think this defenitly help me to broaden my horizons and look at things from different points of view.
