ARCHITECTURE
Some of today's most well-known architectural styles are created by contemporary architects. This comprises single-family residences and downtown business buildings with contemporary design elements.
​
The majority of these structures still have historic architectural traits. These are incorporated and given a new modern twist. It's difficult to give a definitive description of current architecture. Even so, we can attempt to characterize structures that fall within this category.
​
Contemporary architecture may be seen all around the world. It is found all throughout the globe, not only in Europe and the United States. With the passage of time, contemporary buildings will become a genuinely global phenomenon, prompting many nations, including the Philippines, to develop contemporary structures, particularly in Mindanao.
​
Here are some contemporary architectures that can be found in Mindanao:

Pearl farm beach resort
It all started in 1958. While visiting the tranquil and exotic Samal Island, a wealthy businessman and ecologist Daniel Aguinaldo discovered a secluded cove with crystal-clear turquoise waters that was an idyllic place for raising oysters. From the Sulu Sea, Aguinaldo airlifted twelve thousand white-lipped oysters, which were cultivated for their pink, white, and gold pearls. “Apart from producing pearls, Aguinaldo pre-occupied himself with conserving the natural beauty of the forests and the surrounding steep mountain vistas on the island,” wrote David Hodges in an article which appeared in Mabuhay, the inflight magazine of Philippine Airlines. When the wealthy Floirendo family bought the area, they didn’t know what to do with it. In the past, they used it as a recreational haven during weekends for family members and friends. Pushed on by friends, they soon realized the potential of the place as a resort. To carry on the astounding work started by Aguinaldo, they called it Pearl Farm Beach Resort. The name was adopted also as sort of a reminder of its former glory as a foster home for fastidious oysters whose survival depended upon an ultra-clean environment. Today, this aquatic hideaway in the Island Garden City of Samal has been called “paradise on earth.
