Modern architecture is a term applied to an overarching movement and period in architectural history during the 20th century. Modern architecture began at the turn of the 20th century with efforts to reconcile the principles underlying architectural design with rapid technological advancement and the modernization of society. The term contemporary architecture is also applied to a range of styles of recently built structures and space which are optimized for current use. Architecture photography showcases some of the power of geometry and architectural design.
