Over the year the profession of architecture has changed in
every aspect. Different architects tried different solutions for their work and
explored new roads which led to several successful cases. During the modern
movement era, a design style emerged were simple geometrical shapes dominated
he designs of building. The movement progressed and developed war made not just
in the aesthetical design by even in the construction process and construction
methods.

Over the time several designer tried to find a new path in
the design industry and they tried to venture new style. After several attempts
in design, De constructivists started to emerge on a period of time. Their idea
was to completely find a new style which was opposite to movements such as
modern movement.
One architect and designer which emerged in this new
movement was Oscar Niemeyer. He started his design career in about mid-20th
century. His work was one of the most unique works during the time as it
opposed to the majority of architecture design that was taking place during the
time. During this period a very famous style which is still very popular today
as it brought several changes to architecture was the international style.

When
we compare the work of architects such as Oscar Niemeyer and work from
International Style such as Le Corbusier, we can note several different
characteristics from both designers work. The work of Le Corbusier is completely
opposite as the majority of the characteristics in the design of Le Corbusier
are built in a simple geometrical shapes with the mentality of less is more. On
the other hand the work of Oscar Niemeyer design is more fluid. Characteristics
that were developed in the international style by architects such as le Corbusier
that had some importance to the design
of architects such as Oscar Niemeyer is the supporting structure of the
buildings and materials used.
The used of steel structure which was developed further in
the international style is vital for designs such as those of Oscar Niemeyer. The
fluid shapes need several supports in its structure to withstand several
structure pressures from the building.
An architect which followed Oscar Niemeyer in his design was
Chris Eyre Wilkinson. His fluid design is another symbol of De constructivists.
His work can be considered as a development on the work of brilliant architects
like Oscar Niemeyer. In his work we can note some changes that can be noted as
improvements in De constructivist architecture that were made available by
developed technology. As Wilkinson is working in a new era, the technology
which is rapidly evolving now a day is a factory and an aid to architect such
as Wilkinson to continue develop their work and exploring the unknown in
architecture.

The development which is being made today is effecting even
other designer and architects as we can note several improvements in both the
design and construction as the development made from the International Style
till now is significant. And By the introduction of computer technology, we can
further develop and solve several problems on the computer and it is saving a
considerable amount of time to the designer which are working and developing
work in this contemporary industry.
