1. Raw Materials: The process of entering utopia was reflected in the field of architecture, and the reform took place in the raw material of building.

2. GLASS - The opposite of the bricks and stones, convey lightness and transparency. Hanging on the steel the expert architect is a German Ludwig Mies van der Rohe . Straight lines, clear thought and extremely refined details dominate the major concept of the urban architect

5. Bauhaus: Founded by Walter Gropius. An important and famous art school in Germany that teach fine art, craft, design, and architecture and so on.
