1 Modern – High Tech

The “high tech” stream of modernism is committed to the poetics of structure, transparency and technology. High tech modern buildings reveal their mechanical and structural systems and feature glass, steel and fasteners. In many cases, it seems that technology is not just revealed, but also highlighted, exaggerated and idealized. The style is exhibited through the work of Norman Foster, Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers. High tech modernism is relatively uncommon in Ontario’s places of worship, as the style seems to be a more natural fit with commercial and institutional buildings, or large public spaces such as airport terminals.
