Modern architecture is generally characterized by simplification of its publication, functionalism and rationalism. Architecture begins with geometry of form and purity, clarity and simplicity. Since earliest times, Geometry was relied on. In a broader sense, early modern architecture began with symmetry and proportion. Deconstructivism is a development of postmodern architecture characterized by fragmentation and manipulation of a structure, with its exact definition and scope varying widely. Deconstructivism in contemporary architecture is opposed to the ordered rationality of Modernism, however, prior to that, some believed that architects should always use precise ratios when constructing temples. Geometry was to deconstructivists what ornament was to postmodernists, the subject of complication, and this complication of geometry was in turn, applied to the functional, structural, and spatial aspects of deconstructivist buildings. It is a term applied to an overarching movement, signs and ornament, where the concept of geometry can be applied to a pragmatic architecture. Modernism eventually generated reactions, which look at the design, analysis and manufacture processes. Architectural modernism was adopted by many influential architects and architectural educators; it lies at the core of architectural design. With its publication, functionalism and rationalism, the two main branches of modernism, the concept of modernism is a central theme in these efforts.
