Geometric Modernism: Symmetrical Windows with Abstract Ornamentation on a Brick Facade

#5966. Geometric Modernism: Symmetrical Windows with Abstract Ornamentation on a Brick Facade

The photograph shows a fragment of a brick facade with two symmetrical windows executed in a modernist or Art Deco style. The windows are framed with white frames and feature geometric ornamentation of white bars creating an asymmetrical composition. These decorative elements resemble abstract geometric patterns characteristic of mid-20th century architecture.

The brick masonry of the facade is made of yellow brick with darker inclusions, creating a textural contrast with the smooth white window frames. Between the windows is a vertical brick column, slightly protruding from the wall plane, which adds relief and structural rhythm to the facade. Below the windows, white stone sills are visible, also contrasting with the brickwork.

Special expressiveness is added to this architectural solution by the design of the window frames with diagonal and rectangular elements that create a dynamic composition and give the building a characteristic appearance from the period of modernist experiments in architecture. These windows are not only functional but also serve as a decorative accent of the facade, demonstrating the architect's attention to detail and aspiration for artistic interpretation of structural elements.
