Issy this post is right up my alley. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For me (Not in order):

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

60 Wall Street, NYC:

Former WTC's, NYC:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm going to hope you all know what the entire complex looks like. I agree that the buildings are ugly and big, but they had this municipal beauty about them, and their design of distributing the weight to the exterior was ingenious. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

John Hancock Center, Chicago:

Bank of China, Honk Kong:

Plus I think the whole teenage girl thing will end soon (hopefully), because my girlfriend is absolutely in love with him(she is 18), and im beginning to feel threatened by his [Justin Bieber] dashing looks.

Merciful, St Basils cathedral is at least 23 times (no exaggeration) better than the photo you posted in winter, at dusk. The spotlights at the bottom, highlighting the features of the cathedral really do take your breath away from the other end of Red Square...

Guggenheim is pretty cool, or maybe Bush's 600 million dollar US embassy in Baghdad :shock: :|

Another mind-boggling project: Gaudi's La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Went here this past summer. Absolutely amazing. I can't wait to see the finished structure.

I'd have to say... Oh gosh..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The World Trade Centers. Went in them, twice, when I was little, and they were fantastic. Fun to ride up and down the elevators too. :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stupid terrorists.. <.<

The outcome is going to be amazing, you can see the towers now, but it's all just metal, no blue shiny glass yet
