The document discusses various trends in contemporary architecture including organic romanticism, fractured romanticism, and social romanticism. Organic romanticism aims to emulate natural forms using curved shapes. Examples mentioned include works by Gaudi, Saarinen, and Mendelsohn. Fractured romanticism artificially incorporates cracks and decaying elements for dramatic effect, as seen in works by Hans Hollen and SITE. Social romanticism has a focus on social or environmental themes, exemplified in projects by Lucien Kroll and Ralph Erskine that addressed housing and community needs.
