There is a very confusing concept about modern architects, since a long time people are into architecture as well as construction so back then when they used to construct a new thing that was considered as modern for them and that is the reason that there are buildings that may not look like buildings or present generation but still known as modern buildings or constructions. It is said that buildings that were made from 1960 to till date are considered as modern architecture. Architects nowadays get inspired by those modern buildings of the 1960s which is a great thing. Architects often used the term Postmodern Architecture for the modern building of the 1960s and it is said that those buildings there elegant and classy at the same and are quite different from that of the building that we have nowadays. If you are also wondering about some of the best postmodern architecture then here are some of them listed below. Sagrada Família church is also the best example of architecture.
