Guggenheim Museum

Het Guggenheim heeft voor zijn architectuur net zo veel bewondering geoogst als voor zijn kunst. Het gebouw is ontworpen door architect Frank Lloyd Wright. De helderwitte buitenkant en het met glas overkoepelde interieur geven het museum een moderne, schone uitstraling. Renovatiewerk, uitgevoerd in de vroege jaren 90, hebben een tien verdiepingen tellende toren toegevoegd; de extra ruimte bevat een beeldhouw collectie en een café dat uitkijkt over Central Park. Tentoonstellingen bevatten onder meer het werk van Kadinski, Paul Klee en Picasso.

St. Basil's Cathedral

De Basiliuskathedraal is wellicht het meest herkende monument onder de Russische architectonische monumenten en doemt op aan het zuidelijke uiteinde van Roode Plein (Krasnaia Ploshchad') in al haar veelkleurige en kegelvormige glorie. De werkelijke naam van de kathedraal is de Kathedraal van de Voorbede. Het is gebouwd tussen 1555 en 1561 om de overwinning van Ivan de Verschrikkelijke op de Tataren in Kazan te herdenken. De kathedraal is gebouwd in de buurt van het graf van de zogenaamde heilige dwaas, St. Basilius de Zalige, vanwaar haar populaire en veelgebruikte naam.

Dancing House

Arguably the reason for the biggest architectural controversy ever in the city, the post-modern Dancing House portrays a tango couple dancing. Situated on the banks of the Vltava River, the Fred and Ginger Building, built by American Frank Gehry and Vlado Milunic, contains several offices, a street level bar and fancy French restaurant on top. The building is among the most unusual of Prague's varied architectural sights - go and judge its merit for yourself.

Krzywy Domek

Part of the Rezydent Shopping Centre, Krzywy Domek, also known as Crooked House, is a uniquely designed building. Inspired from illustrations by Jan Marcin Szancer and Per Dahlberg, the building is designed by the famed Szotynscy & Zaleski. Counted as one of the 50 strangest buildings in the world, the fascinating building attracts curious tourists and locals alike. This warped, vertigo-inducing building houses many stores, restaurants and even a radio station. When in Sopot, visiting this eccentric establishment is a must.

Casa Milà (La Pedrera)

Antoni Gaudi, de architect die dit juweel van het Catalaanse modernisme ontworpen heeft, wilde dat de voorgevel zijn romantische en anti-klassieke ideeën wat betreft ontwerpen zou reflecteren. Het werd gebouwd voor de familie Mila, tussen 1906 en 1910. Maar de familie en het publiek in het algemeen waren niet onder de indruk, en het gebouw kreeg de bijnaam La Pedrera (de steengroeve) als belediging. Pas veel later, in 1984 werd het beroemd toen de UNESCO het tot werelderfgoed verklaarde. Casa Mila, nu internationaal beroemd, is nu een belangrijk voorbeeld van de civiele architectuur van Gaudi. Het is in esthetisch opzicht uniek en ook nog eens buitengewoon practisch.

Hundertwasserhaus

Je vindt het geweldig of je haat het, deze vrolijk gekleurde, aparte, "ecocentrische" transformatie van een saaie gemeenteflat door de Oostenrijkse kunstenaar Friedensreich Hundertwasser in het derde district van Wenen. Het is nu gewoon een bezienswaardigheid geworden, net als het Hofburg of Stefansdom. Door de oorlog te verklaren aan de rechte lijnen en om de schuld aan de natuur terug te betalen schilderde Hundertwasser de buitenkant in primaire kleuren in het patroon van een dambord, hij voegde een koepel toe en keramische bekleding, en hij plantte grasvelden en bomen op het dak. Binnen kregen de 50 flats het verontrustende kenmerk van golvende terracotta vloeren. Mis de Kunsthaus Wien ook niet, nog een creatie van Hundertwasser, waar er ook een permanente collectie van hem te zien is.

Habitat 67

Habitat 67 is renowned for its architectural excellence and served as a residence during the Expo 67. This housing complex exemplifies a modern approach towards designing and is still an important part of the city. Comprising 146 identical, block-like houses, the structure resembles a massive lego building, which is also one of its most noted features. The structure also offers unparalleled views of the neighborhood, and provides one of the best vantage points for photography.

Grand Lisboa

The long anticipated Grand Lisboa Casino and Hotel opened with great fanfare in 2008. Stanley Ho's latest creation aims to be the premier gambling destination in Asia. The golden lotus-shaped 58-floor tower has forever changed the Macau skyline. The interior of this five-star establishment is as impressive as its exterior. Over 580,000 Swarkovski crystals glimmer in the lobby, casino and guest room chandeliers. International Michelin-rated restaurants make up the collection of dining options here. The casino occupies six floors and has the widest range of slots and tables in Macau. The hotel has 650 deluxe guest rooms and suites that offer views, luxurious amenities and more.

National Stadium - Beijing

This architectural wonder was built for the 2008 Summer Olympics and is aptly nicknamed the 'Bird's Nest'. The inner seating bowl is encompassed by a seemingly random mesh of crisscrossing beams, designed to disguise those that support the stadium's retractable roof, leading to its nest-like appearance. With space enough to accommodate a whopping 91,000 fans, the stadium now hosts a variety of events, from live performances and concerts, to sports and much more. The vast arena has quickly become a symbol of Beijing's cosmopolitan spirit and modern outlook.
