Scope and Intention: what this paper is not about:
A comprehensive analysis
Creating a “reference design”
Suggesting Modern Architecture to be the only architectural movement that is relevant to Space Architecture

Introduction | Modern Architecture | Mies van der Rohe | Richard Neutra | Discussion | Conclusion
What is Modern Architecture:
“Modern architecture is generally characterized by simplification of form and an absence of applied decoration. It is a term applied to an overarching
movement, with its exact definition and scope varying widely.”

Introduction | Modern Architecture | Mies van der Rohe | Richard Neutra | Discussion | Conclusion
Characteristics:
“Form follows function”
Simplicity and clarity of forms, elimination of "unnecessary detail“
Structure architecturally expressed
Preference to use materials that are industrially produced and technologically innovative

Introduction | Modern Architecture | Mies van der Rohe | Richard Neutra | Discussion | Conclusion
Mies van der Rohe (1886 – 1969):
• Widely regarded as one of the pioneering masters of Modern Architecture
His “skin and bones” architecture were much aspired to by large institutes and corporations at the time in America and Europe.
prominent works included: the Barcelona Pavilion (1929), Crown Hall of the Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago (1956), and the Seagram Building, New York (1958)

Richard Neutra (1870 – 1970):
Considered to be among the most important modernist architects.
Widely regarded as a pioneer of environmental design and regionalist architecture, and for the technological innovations in his works.
Prominent works included: Lovell Heath House, Los Angeles, California (1929) ,Kaufmann Desert House, Palm Springs, California (1946)

Conclusion
Design principles of Modern Architecture could serve well to Space Architecture in its bid to achieve better human integration.
Design approaches of Modern Architecture alone does not provide all the answers.
The continuous evolution of Modern Architecture within the professional world of contemporary architecture may provide some further insights
