CAST-IRON ARCHITECTURE [1850 - 1890]
Iron as a building material

Libraries and train stations were some of the constructions built with this new material.
MODERNIST ARCHITECTURE [1890 - 1920]
New construction and decorative materials
Modernist architects designed every aspect of the building, including interior and exterior elements.
