Have there been any contemporary/urban fantasy novels novels where Earth was change by influences of the supernatural and fantasy elements? Like technology, fashion and architecture have motifs of the certain fantasy culture? Like elven, dwarven, orcs, etc could design and build skyscrapers, vehicles clothing and other items.
 
Haven't heard of one quite like that. Maybe you should write it, sounds like it'd be an awesome read
 
Try looking up the "Acts of Caine" series by Matthew Stover.

The Death Gate Cycle may be up your alley. There's four realms in the series. In the first book you visit the Realm of Air. Certain terminology in the dwarven society such as "High Froman", "Mangers" etc. and the description of their city--built in a machine called the Kicksey-Whinesy" made me wonder...In the second book a prominent plot point is an elf trying to build a rocket to visit the stars, and the elves also manufacture what sound like pistols, handguns etc. Then in the third book
Its revealed that the series takes place on the remains of our world. In the Dark Ages elves, dwarves and dragons were real creatures. With the coming of physics and modern science the elves and dragons disappeared, along with magic. Dwarves were the last to go. Then a nuclear holocaust destroyed the world as we know it. A group of wizards strove to rebuild our world, but ended up creating the four worlds the seven-part DGC series takes place in.
