One of the central pillars of modernism was to remove traditional forms of building and decoration from architecture: cubiform buildings with flat roofs replaced pillars and gables. Yet, despite the dominance of the international style in the post-war period, some architects became concerned with the standardised approach of much modern architecture, its deliberate rejection of history and (in some instances) failure to produce an appropriate social context for the inhabitants of the many apartment blocks being produced in the style.
