how many elementary schools have a cool spiral slide to get downstairs, or a hang glider?

I believe the best "modern" architecture in history is being produced right now. The availability of products, methods, and engineering has never been better.
I think some of the limitations of the past have been overcome, and the aesthetics are far more palatable for the general public than ever before.

Dalí Museum, Florida / by HOK

HOK Designs New Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, Fla.

New Building Houses More of Salvador Dalí’s Masterworks than any Other World Collection

ST. PETERSBURG, Florida — The grand opening for the new Dalí Museum is on January 11, 2011, at 11:11 a.m. Located on a scenic waterfront site in downtown St. Petersburg, Fla., the 68,000-square-foot structure doubles the size of the original 1982 Dalí Museum, a one-story warehouse. Exhibits include oils, watercolors, sketches, sculptures and other works from a 2,140-piece permanent collection.

See, that right there is awesome. It reminds me of basketweave.

The fact that the pattern continues onto the glass-fronted balconies is unusual, though. Why do the balconies need glass railings? Of course, juliet balconies are pretty pointless anyway.

Primary Habitat, Port au Prince, Haiti
Bamboo housing project in Haiti likened to a traditional artistic object

Design studio St Val Architect has presented modest designs for a woven vertical residence in Port au Prince, Haiti. The refreshing concept is formed using the traditional art of basketry, weaving natural plant fibres from the local habitat moulded into a cocoon shape.

The practice compares the residential structure to the carving of a totem pole, noting the sacred correlation and explaining: “It’s an architecture that segments space and which translates well the transient character of these habitats.”

Plans for the structure suggest that its vertical nature will only have a minor effect on the devastated lands, and the potential to use natural and locally sourced materials is a sustainable alternative to rebuilding efforts.

They weren't for their original purpose which was to allow people to lean out and air things out or hang a laundry line or whatever. Now they are and they fall into the same category in my mind as pillasters or columns, useless aping of the past for aesthetic purposes.

Minus the lame balconies that is a pretty cool building. Reminds me of an updated Wright Aztec-Prairie Style building.

Cafe-restaurant OPEN, Amsterdam / by de Architekten Cie.

The bridge, which had long fallen into disuse, was still a striking object, historically as well as architecturally. The City of Amsterdam was therefore keen to preserve this showpiece on the river IJ and decided to give the monumental bridge a public function. Because of the location and the panoramic views it was decided to use it as a café-restaurant.
