Contemporary architecture is a modern architectural style used today. Most often, contemporary buildings are designed to fascinate and impress and thus many feature unusual, twisted and asymmetrical shapes covered in glass. With the advanced technology of the 21st century, the structures are first created virtually using 3D design systems. This architectural style is commonly used in museums, concert halls and towers.

Emerging from a post-war era, the Mid-century Modern architectural style was born; this architectural style was very popular during the second half of the 20th century. The new industrial building materials, plywood, and steel, created after World War II, were the primary materials used for the construction of Mid-century homes. Introducing a new style of thinking, these houses were built with flat planes, flat roofs, low-lying windows and large glass doors to allow for a better view of nature.
