"Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness". This statement by Frank Gehry, one of the greatest contemporary architects, establishes how structures, materials, textures and the essence of buildings mark their historical perspective that will remain in many years to come. Future generations will admire our present construction designs and will appreciate the techniques and crafts we utilised. Understanding these will help them value our culture, our evolution and the fingerprint we left as a society. These compositions demonstrate details, angles, spatial factors and light in some of the most renowned and awarded buildings of our time. Despite their similarity in materials and shapes they reflect contemporary architecture in such diverse places as Los Angeles, Chicago or Bilbao for instance.
