The architecture of the present time.

Contemporary are designed for today's lifestyles withhuge windows and large, open spaces by modernmaterials such as glass, iron and concrete.

Modern Architecture became linked to a certain genre ofbuilding and thus over time wasn't really 'modern'anymore. Thus Modernism is differ because it suggests acertain style, not simply a 'contemporary' or 'current'construction.

Contemporary architecture is also applied to a range ofstyles of recently built structures and space which areoptimized for current use.


3/25

Contemporary Architects attempt to push at the

boundaries of materials and technology, and,

especially in recent decades, geometry.

Almost every contemporary architect has beeninfluenced by the Modern Movement. Le Corbusier

was for many the principal influence with his modern

architecture of white walls, fenetre longuer, pilotis and

architectural promenade.


4/25

Contemporary Architecture is not simply anti-

vernacular but also architecture that can have a

number of influences but still tries to beinspirational, visionary, risky and uses new

materials in an innovative way.
