Modernity is a term that refers to the modern era. It is distinct from modernism, and, in different contexts, refers to cultural and intellectual movements of the period c. 1630-1940. The term "modern" can refer to many different things. Colloquially, it can refer in a general manner to the 20th century. For historians, the Early Modern Period refers to the period roughly from 1500 to 1800, with the Modern era beginning sometime during the 18th century. In this schema, industrialization during the 19th century marks the first phase of modernity, while the 20th century marks the second. Some schools of thought hold that modernity ended in the late 20th century, replaced by post-modernism, while others would extend modernity to cover the developments denoted by post-modernism and into the present. Modern can mean all of post-medieval European history, in the context of dividing history into three large epochs ancient history, the Middle Ages, and modern times. In the context of contemporary history, politics and other subjects, it is also applied specifically to the period beginning somewhere between 1870 and 1910, through the present, and even more specifically to the early 20th century, though the late modern times would be marked by the late 18th century (Industrial, American, and French Revolutions). "Modernity" is a different term from modern times[citation needed]; it is derived from Modernism,[citation needed] a movement in art based on the consciousness that through the mechanical age of industrialism, humankind has evolved into something very new - what that would be, would have to be explored by art, and all previous concepts questioned. Darwin's Origin of Species and Lyell's Principles of Geology revolutionized the perception of time and race, and that of "mankind" in particular. One common use of the term is to describe the condition of Western History since the mid-1400s, or roughly the European development of moveable type and the printing press.

1. Atlanta Modern Homes Architecture is a Style all its own
November 17, 2008
The origins of Modern architecture are cause for debate amongst historians. Some argue that Modern architecture was a social movement caused by Modernity and closely tied to the Enlightenment. Others believe Modern architecture was stimulated by technological and engineering advancements as a result of the Industrial Revolution. The truth is probably found somewhere in the middle of both philosophies where enlightened ways of thinking and logic combined with the availability of new building materials such as steel, iron, glass and concrete and led engineers and architects to create a new type ...
