What Is Contemporary<br />
Contemporary <strong>architecture</strong> is based upon a principle which says<br />
that it is shared by those who practice it. Contemporary <strong>architecture</strong><br />
is innovative and it is not an <strong>architecture</strong> movement, thus It does not<br />
have such constraints. It means <strong>contemporary</strong> <strong>architecture</strong> can offer<br />
a variety of architectural choices but it has to stand out from what is<br />
normally done.<br />
Architecture?
Forms Of Contemporary<br />
Architecture<br />
Contemporary <strong>architecture</strong>s are more often than not distances itself<br />
from the curved lines. All we can find by looking at the <strong>architecture</strong><br />
is that the dominant line is a straight line. In some cases, though we<br />
can see a whole building is constructed around curve lines or in<br />
some cases one building is constructed around both the curved and<br />
straight lines.
Volume Composition<br />
In <strong>contemporary</strong> <strong>architecture</strong>, it is possible to create spaces<br />
other than cubes. If anyone sees any <strong>contemporary</strong> design,<br />
he/she can find out that most of the buildings are in rounded<br />
shape. Whenever a <strong>contemporary</strong> architect is looking to use<br />
straight lines that means the unit of volume will be a cube. The<br />
<strong>architecture</strong> will assemble these cubes in various surprising<br />
ways to create distinctive volume composition.
New Materials<br />
Another distinctive feature of the <strong>contemporary</strong> <strong>architecture</strong> is the<br />
use of new construction material in both the interior and exterior.<br />
Traditional materials such as wood, glass, brick, and metals are<br />
there but some unconventional materials such as plants may find a<br />
place in <strong>contemporary</strong> <strong>architecture</strong> also. In <strong>contemporary</strong><br />
<strong>architecture</strong>, one can grow his/her own vertical garden if she/he<br />
wants.
Eco-Housing<br />
Eco housing is a concept which is not restricted just to <strong>contemporary</strong><br />
<strong>architecture</strong>. Even some buildings built conventionally has<br />
incorporated some pro-environment materials or at least they are<br />
energy efficient. In <strong>contemporary</strong> <strong>architecture</strong> use of eco-friendly<br />
materials are a must. Materials such as photovoltaic cells, geothermal<br />
heating, heat pumps etc are considered during construction.
Animated Architecture<br />
The term animated <strong>architecture</strong> is basically used to describe<br />
another characteristic of <strong>contemporary</strong> <strong>architecture</strong> that exists in<br />
various forms. For example sophisticated lights, projection on<br />
wall facades which can interact with people or water in form of<br />
fountain or waterfall. The basic idea is to make the building<br />
come across as more alive.
