Postmodern High-Tech (also known as Structural Expressionism) is a style of architecture that emerged in the late 20th century. It combines elements of postmodern and modern architecture with a focus on the use of advanced technology and structural engineering. This style often includes features such as exposed steel beams, concrete and glass facades, and bold, geometric shapes. The style is characterized by its emphasis on function over form, with buildings designed to be efficient and practical rather than aesthetically pleasing or ornate. Common examples of Postmodern High-Tech architecture include the Lloyd's Building in London and the Pompidou Center in Paris.
