High-tech architecture, or Late Modernism, is an architectural style that emerged in the 1970s, incorporating elements of high-tech industry and technology into building design. High-tech architecture appeared as a revamped modernism, an extension of those previous ideas aided by even more advances in technological achievements. This period serves as a bridge between modernism and post-modernism, however there remain gray areas as to where one period ends and the other begins. In the 1980s, high-tech architecture became more difficult to distinguish from other post-modern architecture. Many of its themes and ideas were absorbed into the language of the post-modern architectural schools.
