Contemporary architecture identified by curved lines, rounded forms, unconventional volumes, asymmetry, free-form shapes, open floor plans, large and abundant windows, green roofs and lively walls, integration into the surrounding landscape, integrated smart home technology and integrated customizable LED lighting. Contemporary intellectuals shape public opinion in ways that influence the actions of power holders precisely, building and planning authorities, in the urban set-ups, accepting general vision or specific policies favored by intellectuals. Contemporary architects have the power to have an impact on the physical environment while taking social aspects into consideration. Contemporary architecture communicates goals and identities at the societal level. Society significantly influences structures making the architect very powerful with considerable influence on showing how the structures would have impact on the surroundings creating something from nothing while taking the societal implications into account. They most significantly influence the opinions or actions of those in positions of authority. Government officials compelled to yield to the tide of opinion shaped by them, particularly by the contemporary architects or "public intellectuals". Architecture structures, most precisely contemporary architecture, are always evolving in response to societal intellectual developments. Contemporary architecture was created as a result of architectural evolution influenced by societal demands and preferences. The methodological approach, this research followed, was a thorough study and detailed analysis of the contemporary architecture school of thought exemplified in these eight most renowned ones; Blobitecture, Bionic, Biomorphic, Critical Regionalism, Deconstructivism, Sustainable, Novelty and Warped Architecture affirming the societal intellectuality enrichment of the contemporary architecture structures.References
