Postmodern and Contemporary Styles with an International Reach

Architectural styles in the Postmodern and Contemporary group that belong to no single country or region. A style belongs here when its cited article names practitioners or buildings in several countries and does not tie the style to one home region, or describes it as a movement that spread across borders. Styles that the cited articles tie to one region sit in the regional groups of the same subcategory, and styles whose cited articles say nothing about place are left in the subcategory until a group fits them. Each group needs at least two styles that their own articles place there.
