Renaissance is considered as to be modern in those era, and Baroque is a kind of Post modern that come after Renaissance. Renaissance are full with geometric shapes and symmetry where proportions are based on human scale in their architecture. Everything is considered to be new and have to be strictly followed the rule and precisely wanting everything to be perfect. In contrast, Baroque architecture used the idea of ambiguity and contradiction, where as you can call it post modernism, which is related to the idea of Robert Venturi's complexity and contradiction. They do the opposite of Renaissance architects, where Baroque architects would go beyond from what they it has already been created, by creating the architecture that is expressive with their decorations.
Starting Baroque with Bernini, who has a lot of influence by Michelangelo. He focused his work a lot on emotional expressions, playing with dramatic light where painting, sculture and architecture blends together into one. It can be notice by the sculpture of Bernini and Michelangelo's David, that Bernini sculpture is more dramatic and expressive, looking very alive as a sculpture.
Another architect in Baroque period is Boromini, who is a commoner and has no rich commision and use the luxury material like Bernini had. His work, 'San Caloalle Quarttro Fortane', a small chapel where Borromini acheieved with only form, light and geometry. He uses simple, common, cheap material to make complex geometry, which has turn be to much more expressive with simple and cheap tool more than the architecture of Bernini's design. Borromini created the architecture that is 'both and' in the post modernism way, that it is full with complexity and contradiction when u are looking at it. He is very good at using something that has very simple form or tool and abel to turn it into something that is complex by just making its arrangement.
As in conclusion, it is able to be said that Modern and Post modernism in this 1900s also has follow the early period of architecture, which has considered to be the very early architecture type, has influenced on many of architecture that has stand out in this period of time.
