Multiple Modernisms

Multiple modernisms are various movements around design. It is about an idea in a whole rather than a particular idea. It is always changing so it can not be specific but more broad. Nature, people, material, and symbol are key aspects. The architects mentioned on the website encompassed the idea of multiple modernisms and give us examples that we use today; such as Wright's Robie House. We see multiple modernisms in objects that we run into everyday.
The image above is a chair by Rudolph Schindler. You can see the modern detail on the chair. Emphasis is on the rounded edge that curves into a side table.
