VerifiedMany of the buildings we see today would be impossible to design without the aid of computers.Since the 1960s,architects have made use of advanced three-dimensional modeling tools and sophisticated animation software.Contemporary technology has generated a futuristic vocabulary of folded,splintered,tilted,and boldly curved shapes that contrast with the well-defined axes,sharp edges,and clearly bounded space of older building styles.Contemporary architects,such as Zaha Hadid,produce inventive designs that incorporate fluid forms in a dynamic "curvilinearity."
