okay contemporary architecture let's
talk about the trends that have taken
contemporary architecture by storm
contemporary architects produce some of
today's most famous buildings that
includes single-family homes and even
downtown office buildings however most
of these buildings still reflect classic
architecture features today architects
have taken the traditional styles and
interpreted them in a modern way it is
challenging to describe contemporary
architecture with conclusive features
that being said let's attempt to
describe buildings that fit this
classification okay contemporary
architecture is widespread across the
world it is not only common in Europe in
the United States with time contemporary
design will become global this is the
opposite of what happened with modern
architecture which is more restricted to
Europe in the United States so let's try
to define contemporary architecture
contemporary architecture is the
movement or modern styles blend sharing
various features among the two styles
and these styles rely on fewer
traditional building ideas the term
contemporary it may have been misplaced
in time possibly this is because they
can still describe buildings that are
almost eight decades old because there
are many styles it is difficult to come
up with a formal definition to describe
this movement of contemporary
architecture traditional architectural
styles play a massive role in
beautifying corporate offices so it's
not something that's just in the past
that still exists today traditional architecture
architecture
Rings functionality to the corporate
environment for this reason most
Arctic's still pay tribute to classic
design features sometimes they do this
as a sign of loyalty to architectural
design legacy as well as to respect the
design philosophy where form follows
function contemporary architecture is
different from the modern architecture
of the late 20th century this was done
by adding eco-friendly features and
introducing all manners of creativity it
also involves the use of
state-of-the-art technology and
materials traditional design elements
are predictable and distinguishable
while contemporary architecture is more
flexible contemporary architects thrive
on sophisticated and innovative ideas
they deviate from traditions and norms
to achieve this they need contemporary
materials as well to create these new
ideas you will not only appreciate the
innovative and creative designs in these
buildings you will also understand the
aesthetic the aesthetic feeling to the
unique design of the structure moreover
contemporary architecture uses a vast
range of building materials
these may include concrete glass wood
and even aluminum these materials that
contrast the design for instance you
will sometimes notice that contemporary
buildings have oversized plate-glass
windows these allow plenty of natural
light and create large open spaces also
the building frames follow symmetrically
and they often have innovative shapes in
the past many consider the use of
concrete as brutal in its design
application however modern architecture
realize the value of reinforced concrete
you can do many things with concrete
you can mold it with reinforcements into
almost any shape you can also create
virtually appealing buildings while
being budget-friendly once we reinforced
it materials like steel it can be
erected and weighs hard to find in other buildings
