THINGS ABOUT
CONTEMPORARY
ARCHITECTURE

2. Contemporary architecture is based upon a principle which says
that it is shared by those who practice it. Contemporary architecture
is innovative and it is not an architecture movement, thus It does not
have such constraints. It means contemporary architecture can offer
a variety of architectural choices but it has to stand out from what is
normally done.
What Is Contemporary
Architecture?

3. Forms Of Contemporary
Architecture
Contemporary architectures are more often than not distances itself
from the curved lines. All we can find by looking at the architecture
is that the dominant line is a straight line. In some cases, though we
can see a whole building is constructed around curve lines or in
some cases one building is constructed around both the curved and
straight lines.

4. Volume Composition
In contemporary architecture, it is possible to create spaces
other than cubes. If anyone sees any contemporary design,
he/she can find out that most of the buildings are in rounded
shape. Whenever a contemporary architect is looking to use
straight lines that means the unit of volume will be a cube. The
architecture will assemble these cubes in various surprising
ways to create distinctive volume composition.

5. New Materials
Another distinctive feature of the contemporary architecture is the
use of new construction material in both the interior and exterior.
Traditional materials such as wood, glass, brick, and metals are
there but some unconventional materials such as plants may find a
place in contemporary architecture also. In contemporary
architecture, one can grow his/her own vertical garden if she/he
wants.

6. Eco-Housing
Eco housing is a concept which is not restricted just to contemporary
architecture. Even some buildings built conventionally has
incorporated some pro-environment materials or at least they are
energy efficient. In contemporary architecture use of eco-friendly
materials are a must. Materials such as photovoltaic cells, geothermal
heating, heat pumps etc are considered during construction.

7. Animated Architecture
The term animated architecture is basically used to describe
another characteristic of contemporary architecture that exists in
various forms. For example sophisticated lights, projection on
wall facades which can interact with people or water in form of
fountain or waterfall. The basic idea is to make the building
come across as more alive.
