Very terribly likely. Or they get torn down and replaced with more of the same. All cheap and disposable junk but affordable...I mean, debt traps.

Lets be clear what we're talking about. "Modernist" architecture is a style (also known as the "International Style"). A couple of famous examples from Mies van der Rohe: the Villa Tugendhat in the Czech Republic, the Seagram Building in NY.




If you're talking about contemporary architecture, that could be anything from Calatrava to the generic strip malls that can't get built fast enough.

^True ...but note, Modernism is not a 'style', it is a movement.

-- that is 'high Modernist' architecture -- so here is some late Modernist (contemporary) architecture.

Gateway Project, Ras Al-Khaimah, UAE
