From Victorian to Renaissance and Neo-classical, each period came with the conventional architectural style that reflected the age and cultural context related to it.
Architectural concepts have been evolving forever and the iconic structures spread throughout our world implies the same.
However, since the beginning of the 20th century, humanity had witnessed a sudden architectural revolution which paved way for the 2 major forms of architecture we see today.
Modern and Contemporary Architecture.
Often, people tend to use Modern and Contemporary interchangeably, even though both are very different and vary with each other over a century.
With that said, let’s dwell a bit deeper and take a look at the key differences between modern and contemporary architecture.
