Machine Aesthetic
Architecture suggesting something machine-made, acknowledging industrialization, mass-production, and engineering, or that copied elements of metal structures (ships, airplanes, motor-cars, etc.) in an eclectic fashion, more a matter of arriving at an appearance than of actually being what it seemed, a fact that contradicted demands for ‘honesty’ and ‘truth’ in architecture, and denied the logic of structural principles… (Curl & Wilson, 2016)
