Can buildings express inner ideas or feelings?
HISTORY
Expressionism was an early 20th-century movement
in art and architecture. It developed between 1910
and 1924 among a group of architects from European
countries including Germany, Austria, and Denmark.
It was a time of great turmoil and upheaval in Europe
and many of the architects had fought on the
battlefields of World War I. Their experiences greatly
impacted their work and what they created looked
like nothing that had come before it.
