Contemporary Design- the right phrase?
I'm writing a research project including the use of architecture in university buildings, and I'm stuck on what to call my subjects. 1) Is Contemporary Interior design the right way to describe a brightly coloured room with bright furniture, and really modern design? Or is there a better phrase used by designers? 2) Old architecture of no specific era (but generally classed as 'old', eg. moulding, archways, pre-war etc) : I have no idea what to collectively call this, I'm just going with 'old buildings'! Is there a good word to describe it? 3) A combination of the two, eg. steel beams with attached lighting included in a photo of ornate mouldings- I've noticed that they are deliberately placed together, but I can't think of a nice phrase to sum that up. Any ideas? If you can help me with any of the questions I'll love you forever :)

- 1) could be 'Postmodern' but look this up in regards to architecture and check 2) if the building is after 1900-about 20/30 then it's Federation. If it's before that then it's Victorian. Collectively you could say Victorian to Post War. 3) A combination would be 'eclectic' or a mix.
