Late Modern architecture is characterized by its emphasis on functionality, minimalism, and simplicity. It often features clean lines and utilizes modern materials such as steel and glass. Late Modern buildings are typically characterized by their use of asymmetry and irregular shapes. They also often feature open floor plans and large windows, which allow for natural light and a connection to the surrounding environment. Another defining characteristic of Late Modern architecture is its use of technology to create new forms and structures, such as computer-aided design and fabrication techniques. Finally, Late Modern architecture often incorporates sustainable design principles, such as energy-efficient features and the use of environmentally-friendly materials.
