While I wouldn't call it my favorite building, I would highlight a black boxy beauty of the 1970's from Paris, for its original cladding that appears way ahead of its time to me.

Completed in 1974, still wearing her original cladding. I would list her in France's national heritage.

The Frauenkirche is probably the most beautiful thing I have ever seen lol.

I also love the Bank of China Tower. Spectacular Modern architecture. Here's one from Dubai that is quite amazing as well.

The Almas Tower

Since my favourite Art Deco buildings have been in this thread already, I'm going to say my favourite "modern" building.

Haters gonna hate, I love the Gherkin.
