Other Noteworthy Buildings Pedro Ramirez Vazquez' in Mexico City (1960s): National Museum of Anthropology Museum of Modern Art Estadio Azteca
Teodoro Gonzalez de Leon Universidad Pedagogica Nacional Los Arcos Office Building Museo Rufino Tamayo
My top choice in the Supplemental Building Draft is the Castel del Monte in Puglia, Italy. Possibly the most beautiful of all the medieval castles.
i am too lazy to find the pictures so here's are a few worthy choices: a couple of LUIS BARRAGAN's residencial buildings Tadao's Church of Light, and maybe some more of his too Siza's Expo' 98 and Santa Maria Church Steven Holl's chapel in Seattle University, and maybe that museum in Finland Utzon's Church Peter Zumthor's chapel and the interior of Vals Spa some Renzo Piano's buildings There're lots of churchs in my list that's why I didn't pick them, many of them are better buildings than some of those that made my list.
the coolest feature of Plessis-Bourre, or one of them, was the draw bridge. It weighed something like 2,000 pounds or something like that, yet I was able to raise and lower it with a simple tug on a bar over my head.
Now, some remaining modern buildings: Bauhaus Dessau (by Walter Gropius): Viipuri Library, Viborg, Russia (by Alvar Aalto): Neues Nationalgalerie, Berlin (Mies Van der Rohe):
Fagus Works (Gropius): AEG Turbine Factory, Berlin (Peter Behrens): Munkegaards School, Danemark (Arne Jacobsen):
I spent a week in Germany and Austria my senior year of high school. The Cologne Cathedral was the most impressive thing I saw, but this was probably second. Festung Hohensalzburg: Salzburg, Austria This one shows both the fortress and the a view of Salzburg you can get from the fortress.
Temple of Amon in Karnak, Luxor: Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris: Johnson Wax Headquarters (Frank Lloyd Wright):
Stansted Airport, London (Norman Foster): Berlin State Library (by Hans Scharoun): Crypt in the Colonia Güell, Barcelona (by Antonio Gaudi):
thought about taking this as well. Fontevraud Abbey in France coolest building is the octagonal kitchen. one of the few surviving, i think
Nice work from everyone here. Thoroughly enjoyed following the draft. I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but it is one of my favourite buildings. Natural History Museum, London.
just because we have time, this might not make a top 10 building list, but it might make my top 10 buildings to sit across the street from in a cafe drinking hot chocolate all day long: Eglise Saint Germain-des-Pres, Paris, France (Rep to the first one to name the cafe I have in mind)
Cool. I've been there. Eleanor of Aquitaine, her husband King Henry II of England, and their son King Richard I (the Lionheart) are all buried there.
yup, i loved the place. I got a book with some really cool artistic pictures and stuff in it when I was there, but it's all in French so I can't read it!
