Contemporary architecture: bright and simple
Wood and glass are the main materials used in contemporary architecture. The new buildings are usually very simple and functional.
Otto Kapfinger, architecture critic, wrote: „I’m in front of a house which has been built using hardly any material. At first sight it’s rather provocative, without any formal or individual attitude, however it’s surprisingly rich in spatial and functional qualities.”
