Modernist architecture is a subset of modern architecture and includes architecture, architectural styles and buildings of 20th century 'high modernism'.

It includes the Bauhaus, Mid-Century Modern, International Style, Brutalism, and other regional expressions.

The category "modernist architecture" does not include pre-modernist or proto-modernist movements (that may otherwise be considered "modern") such as expressionist architecture, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Jugendstil, and the Vienna Secession. Neither does it include Postmodern architecture and its developments such as deconstructivism or critical regionalism.
