Shock of the New - Episode 4

-This episode focused on architecture
-Chicago was home to most of American Modernism
-Because of the fire in Chicago, architects were able to basically start over
-Architects became obsessed with a utopian-like style
-Mondrian used grids and crosses to create his signature style
-His studio is a significant symbol of American Modernism
-The Modern movement may be over, but the buildings from it still remain
-Utopia cannot be obtained in cities because they are simply too complicated for that
