What is meant by the term “modern architecture”?

Architecture underwent a transformation and developed many directions and ways of design through new technological achievements and materials that were discovered and produced. Materials such as steel, reinforced concrete, large glass surfaces and aluminium have opened up possibilities that were not possible before, and continuous development and research lead to alloys that increase their efficiency and functionality. By applying new technologies and materials, architecture began to use primarily functional design.

Modern architecture appeared with the last industrialization, and it bases its style on emphasizing the functionality of the object instead of its ornaments and facade features. It uses crisp, sharp and clean lines wherever possible, with an emphasis on minimalism and innovation. Modern architecture is based on the idea that form must follow functionality, and it has been applied since the 1890s, while it reached its peak through the first period from the middle of the 20th century until the 1980s.

Accordingly, modern architects are more oriented towards answering the question of how to live better instead of how to create a beautiful home. Although minimalism and emphasis on certain colors and shapes are still used to produce visually beautiful and eye-pleasing objects, they are less recognizable for their specific properties and unique patterns, and more for their multifunctionality and emphasis on useful and beautifully arranged aesthetics.

With various universal political movements and the development of globalism, the international branch of modern architecture was also conceived. Historical and cultural elements and ornaments are completely removed from buildings and the new “universal” home can be built and introduced anywhere, without representing one specific country, culture or people.

This architectural style is recognizable by the already mentioned minimal and clean lines, but it is also specific in its use of large glass surfaces and windows, large living areas that connect several rooms into one whole unit. Modern homes emphasize the relationship with the environment in which they are located, the asymmetry of the design and the general desire and need to reduce clutter within the space.


Officially, this style no longer directly exists in its original sharp and strict format. It is no longer the trend, but through its international application it has developed various so-called postmodern styles and represents the basis for almost all of today’s most current architectural trends such as high-tech architecture, neofuturistic architecture and deconstructivism, self-sustainable architecture accompanied by the so-called new urbanism, new classical architecture and ecocities.

In other words, in architecture, the term “modern architecture” represents a strictly defined style of architecture that was used until the 1980s, but it still sees its application through variations in today’s, for lack of a better term, “modern” and most current forms of architecture. Accordingly, generally speaking within this branch and industry in everyday communication, and especially within this article, the term “modern architecture” is applied to all current branches and trends of architecture that have emerged from the architectural style of modern architecture.

Why does modern architecture use aluminium?

Aluminium has enabled the creation of diverse constructions of various new forms and functions, and meets the need for the use of durable, sustainable and long-lasting materials, as well as finishing elements that fit easily and aesthetically elegantly into the space, and enables the creation of maximum functionality of the object.

Aluminium is a light, durable and long-lasting material that has excellent physical and chemical properties such as recyclability, low temperature resistance and corrosion resistance. Such properties have enabled its wide application in modern architecture, but also in various branches of industry. Its elegant style is an excellent choice in facade planning, which includes application on large glass walls and protection for window openings such as various types of shutters.

Why does modern architecture use aluminium shutters?

Modern architecture has simplified the external design of the object with sharp, straight lines, surfaces with clean textures, and the main element of contrast can only be achieved with additional elements around and inside the object. Modern architecture likes to focus attention on window openings – they define the external appearance and design of the building and contribute to good lighting and a better atmosphere in the interior of the house.

Architects and designers like to play with many shapes and sizes of windows and their arrangement, which give the building a special design. Combining thoughtful design and functionality increases the quality and comfort of life inside the building itself.

It is known that in buildings where there is a lot of natural light, there is a greater general satisfaction of the tenants, which directly affects their general health, creating a healthier rhythm of living and a better connection with the environment and nature.

However, in order to protect the windows of the building, and to enable effective regulation of the amount of light in the rooms, architects upgrade the buildings by installing quality shutters. Modern architecture favors aluminium shutters due to their flexibility, durability, satisfaction of strict architectural requirements, ease of maintenance, as well as the ability to fit into different living climates and different styles of modern and traditional architecture. They are a worthwhile investment because they enable the reduction of energy consumption for heating or cooling of the building and protect against heat transfer between the interior and the environment.

eux shutters and modern architecture

Aluminium shutters allow architects to use an excellent building material while also creating additional textures and color that otherwise could not be added to a modern building. Shutters aesthetically and uniquely upgrade every building design by the principles of modern architecture, and bring with them improved functional application: they offer protection against insects, anti-burglary protection, environmental friendliness, can be recycled and bring great resistance to external influences.

Which models of shutters are most often used by modern architecture?

In accordance with the needs of modern architecture, shutters must meet the existing style of that type of architecture, enhance the textures and colors of the building or add more specific functionality to the building itself. For this reason, architects of modern architecture most often choose the following 5 shutter models:

Facade shutters

This model of shutters is directly and simply mounted and installed on the facade, and they are adaptable to all types and forms of architecture. Their straight lines and clean design fit the requirements of modern architecture, and with their aesthetics and anti-burglary protection, they are one of the top choices of architects.

Rustic shutters

Architects opt for rustic shutters when there is a need for more rustic textures and the installation of mosquito nets. Different shapes of slats and wing openings allow complete freedom in designing homes with protection against insects.

Sliding shutters

Large openings that connect the interior and exterior of the building are one of the fundamental principles of modern architecture. Accordingly, sliding aluminium shutters are the inevitable choice of many architects and designers and represent the perfect solution for all shapes of large openings. They provide functionality, protection and beautiful aesthetic, and their functionality can even be upgraded through an electric drive.

Harmo – Folding shutters

An alternative solution for large panoramic openings, depending on the possibilities and needs of the design and architectural solutions of the building, is represented by harmo shutters, i.e. accordions or folding shutters. It is possible to implement an unlimited number of even or odd wings. The folding system can also be enhanced via electric drive locking and opening.

Rounded shutters

As the branches of postmodern architecture also incorporate traditional elements, the need to escape from clean and straight lines is welcome in some places. In this case, rounded shutters represent an ideal solution, and by imitating the color and texture of wood, they enable the achievement of a traditional look with modern requirements, long-term durability and high quality.
