Your are talking about the suburban sprawl. The end of the WWII bring the ideas of a new progressive Utopia to the US. The system promotes the capitalism with two principal elements: the detached unifamiliar houses (the idea came from the Usonian houses of Frank Lloyd Wright ) and the automovil (in each house). This new urban (suburban) planning destroy the historic city planning and bring a desechable form of living. A house, a car or a refrigerator are only consumerist products. The architecture of this houses are pastiche and are completly desechable. The churches and other religious buildings can't excape this system, that's why you can easilly confuse a barn or a warehouse with church. In Architecture the International Style that follow the WWII ended with insipid buildings or insipid houses that are completly anti - contextual. You can built the same glass tower in Toronto, Miami, Sao Pablo or Tokio.
Yes the universal creative force is full of NO creativity.

This doesn't sound like a question that you've just plucked out of the air. You want us to answer your degree/PHD work for you do you?

Post world war architecture is anything after 1945, which covers several architecural types. The buildings from the 1960s and the 1970s epitomised the 'modernist' style which started in the early 1920s with wildly differing degrees of success. (The 1970s in particular threw up some hideous examples).

I am trying to answer your question but the "universe's creative force" has nothing to do with architecture. It is people who make architecture.
