Modern Art is a term to depict the art of XX century and onwards. It represents the opposite to traditional art, and it is mostly an aesthetic concept. The end of it would be the postmodernism, where it is impossible to create anything original, only reinterpretations. There are many movements, and the production is so wide that it is impossible to know all.

Architecture. Modern architecture began with the skyscrapers and the Bauhaus, and was also influenced by the pictoric movements and the use of new materials.

High Tech. It began in the 1960s in Japan, with the Metabolist Movement, where artists imagined futuristic buildings.

Others: Olympic Stadium of Munich, Agbar Tower in Barcelona, Sears Tower in Chicago, Žižkov Television Tower in Prague, Lord’s Cricket Ground in London, Potsdamer Platz in Berlin
