San Francisco’s downtown / SoMA is in the process of architectural change. A number of new buildings have cropped up that look modern and unique from the rest of the cityscape. When they first started being erected, I have to admit that I was resistant to the change. I love the city’s architecture and didn’t like the alteration. But as they’ve developed, I’ve started to appreciate the new buildings.
As a result, I’ve gotten more interested in design and architecture than I was before. And I’ve been particularly interested in hyper-modern design. There are a number of different buildings that show off modern styles. Below are three images of just such buildings. The pictures all come from Global Construction Watch and you can learn more about these buildings from their blog.


What’s inspiring about these is the way that the incorporate modern technology into their design. They’re forward-thinking and yet rooted in what currently motivates our lives. It’s an interesting development in design and one I’m intrigued by.
Question of the Day: What do you think are the hottest new buildings around the world?
