  • Contemporary architecture is a movement in which modern styles blend and share various features, relying on fewer classicized building ideas. It essentially refers to the current style of architecture. For example, a house built this year according to current trends would be considered contemporary architecture. However, the term "contemporary" may have been misplaced because it can still describe buildings that are almost eight decades old.
