    Late Modern Architecture follows the Modern movement in emphasizing geometry, lack of ornamentation, standardization, and industrialization. It takes these principles to an exaggerated level, featuring massive technological and industrial elements used in dramatic ways to impress the senses aesthetically. Key characteristics include individualist designs without context, varied compositions with space broken into small units, and expressive structures and skins featuring repetition, reticulation, and sculptural metal panels. Prominent architects employing these Late Modern styles included Norman Foster, I.M. Pei, and Philip Johnson.
