In the modern period, synagogues have continued to be built in every popular architectural style, including [[Art Nouveau]], [[Art Deco]], International style, and all contemporary styles. In the post-World War II period "a period of post-war modernism," came to the fore, "characterized by assertive architectural gestures that had the strength and integrity to stand alone, without applied artwork or Jewish iconography."<ref>Henry and Daniel Stoltzman, ''Synagogue Architecture in America; Path, Spirit, and Identity,'' Images Publishing, 2004, p. 193</ref> A notable work of [[Art Nouveau]], pre–[[World War I]] [[Hungary|Hungarian]] synagogue architecture is [[Budapest]]'s [[Kazinczy Street Synagogue, Budapest|Kazinczy Street Synagogue]].<ref>{{cite web |publisher=Jewish heritage Walking tours in Budapest |title=Synagogues |url=http://jewish.hu/synagouges/}}</ref>
In the UK, synagogues built in the early 1960s, such as a [[Carmel College (Oxfordshire)]] in the UK, designed by the British architect, Thomas Hancock,<ref name="historicengland.org.uk">[http://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1379943 "Jewish Synagogue at Carmel College" Historic England List Entry, retrieved November 4, 2018]</ref> were decorated with the stained glass of windows of Israeli artist, [[Nehemia Azaz]]. The stained glass windows were praised by art and architecture scholar [[Nikolaus Pevsner]] as using "extraordinary technique with rough pieces of coloured glass like crystals"<ref>{{cite book|last1=Sherwood|first1=Jennifer|last2=Pevsner|first2=Nikolaus|title=Buildings of England - Oxfordshire - Pevsner Architectural Guides|date=1974|publisher=Penguin|pages=712|isbn=9780140710458|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=2yUNAQAAIAAJ&q=azaz}}</ref> and by Historic England as "brilliant and innovative artistic glass".<ref name="historicengland.org.uk"/>
