Hypermodern architecture
Introduction
Hypermodernism is a cultural movement of an artistic, architectural and literary nature that is distinguished from Modernism and Postmodernism by its antithetical approach. This refers to the use of technological materials and the way of approaching both design and composition from an ideological basis focused on magnitude.
The biggest difference with respect to postmodernity lies in individualism, or hyperindividualism,[1] seeking to reflect the current moment of societies. The French philosopher and sociologist Gilles Lipovetsky[2] described this movement in his work L'ère du vide, published in 1983, and pointed out the differences with respect to postmodernism. In the field of architecture, hypermodernism is understood as a form of resistance to modernity, or also as late romanticism with modernist ornaments.
