We are currently seeing a major architectural change in the U.S., one that favors more contemporary architecture. Go to any large city and look at the new towers, midrises, and new cultural institutions like theatres and museums and what do you see? Lots of glass, clean lines, minimalist facades, either colorful or solid color, good urban/site design features, etc.

Regionalism is a big part of American architecture though and it's interesting to see that blend in with general contemporary design. For example the "contemporary" midrises going up in Seattle look a lot different than the ones in Chicago, Atlanta, or Miami.
