"To be modern is to find ourselves in an environment that promises us adventure, power, joy, growth, transformation of ourselves and the world – and, at the same time, that threatens to destroy everything we have, everything we know, everything we are….." Berman,1994
Architectural Modernity can be described as a process of constant
transformation. It's a course of action that creates new architectural forms
which depend on the strategies of transformation and change in creating
new models (Generation of new Architectural Forms).
It can almost certainly mean whatever you want it too! The only sensible view of this is to set it in the context of the current and climate of the place. Architecture can never meaningfully be understood as some separate movement from the rest of society and culture.
Architectural Modernity is basically rejecting ornament and embracing minimalism in architecture and design.
More specifically, it is associated with an analytical approach to the function of buildings, a strictly rational use of new materials (often eco-friendly), an openness to structural innovation and the elimination of ornament.
