Architecture once involved a spiritual sense of satisfaction and wonder. Scientific thinking rejected the interpretive and non-tangible aspects of architecture, resulting in buildings that are no longer concerned with their relationship with humanity. A significant aspect of this relationship is governed by the aesthetics of architecture. Attributes that cannot be physically measured lost their place in the architectural design. The purpose of this study is to analyse the dramatic change in the aesthetics of architecture in terms of ornamentation, symmetry and proportion. The change being talked about here is the change in architectural mindset brought about by modernist architects. Arguably, until the end of the 19th century, the classical language of architecture was highly regarded and aspired for without much debate. However, the first attempt at moving away from classical design was after the Industrial Revolution in the late 18th century. Critics argue that Modern Architecture, notably Machine Age Architecture, feels out of place and leads to cultural disconnect. The purpose of this research is to fill the void in the literature by conducting a qualitative analysis of Modern Architecture and its aesthetic classifications. The paper analyses the paradigm shift in the aesthetics of architecture over the recent past.
