I appreciate your request, but I notice the context provided ("type of architecture") is too minimal for me to write an accurate, informative 2-sentence overview without inventing details. To fulfill your instruction to base my answer only on what's provided and not invent facts, I cannot complete this task as specified. If you could provide more substantial context about modern architecture—such as its key characteristics, time period, or historical significance—I'd be happy to write the overview you're looking for.

Modern architecture, also called modernist architecture, or the modern movement, is an architectural movement and style that was prominent in the 20th century, between the earlier Art Deco and later postmodern movements. Modern architecture was based upon new and innovative technologies of construction (particularly the use of glass, steel, and concrete); the principle of functionalism (i.e. that form should follow function); an embrace of minimalism; and a rejection of ornament.
According to Le Corbusier, the roots of the movement were to be found in the works of Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, while Mies van der Rohe was heavily inspired by Karl Friedrich Schinkel. The movement emerged in the first half of the 20th century and became dominant after World War II until the 1980s, when it was gradually replaced as the principal style for institutional and corporate buildings by postmodern architecture.
