In “The Development of the twentieth century town hall”, John Stewart talks about how certain events, especially the ousting of the church as the main powerholder in most developed countries, began a big push that allowed architecture to finally break the chains of religion based-only structures to the now artistic and abstract expression of architecture that we see today. The more and more the church and state became fragmented, the more and more that architecture was allowed to finally roam on its own as an artstyle in and of itself.
