Museu Guggenheim (Guggenheim Museum)

O Guggenheim é admirado tanto pela sua arquitectura como sua arte. O edifício foi desenhado pelo arquitecto Frank Lloyd Wright. Seu exterior branco e seu interior de cúpula em vidro combinam-se para dar um ar moderno e limpo ao lugar. Uma renovação, realizada no início de 1990 adicionou uma torre de dez andares, o espaço extra contém uma colecção das esculturas e uma cafeteria com vista para o Parque Central. Em exposição, tem os trabalhos dos impressionistas, Kadinsky, Paul Klee e Picasso.

Catedral de São Basílio

Uma coleção fascinante de tons vívidos e cúpulas, a Catedral de São Basílio ergue-se no extremo sul da Praça Vermelha, um dos monumentos arquitetônicos mais reconhecidos da Rússia. Originalmente construída entre 1555 e 1561 para comemorar a vitória de Ivan IV em Kazan, a catedral era uma visão em pedra branca com cúpulas douradas. As cores e padrões não foram adicionados até o século XVII. Pouco se sabe sobre os arquitetos deste majestoso edifício e, por um tempo, a lenda dizia que Ivan IV cegou a dupla para evitar que replicassem o projeto. Originalmente composta por nove capelas, uma décima foi acrescentada alguns anos depois onde se encontra o túmulo de São Basílio. Embora oficialmente chamada de Catedral da Intercessão, o apelido mais popular desta joia histórica deriva disso. Hoje, a Catedral de São Basílio é um museu que atrai multidões de visitantes todos os anos, inspirando admiração em todos aqueles que a observam.

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.

Casa Milà

Antoni Gaudí, the architect who built this jewel of Catalan modernism, wanted the facade to reflect his romantic and anti-classical ideas about design. It was built for the Milà family between 1906 and 1910. Neither the family nor the public were much impressed, and it was dubbed La Pedrera (stone quarry) as an insult. Only later in 1984 did it win great acclaim when the UNESCO declared it a World Heritage Site. Now internationally celebrated, Casa Milà is a prime example of Gaudí's civil architecture; it is aesthetically interesting and unique as well as outstandingly practical.

Hundertwasserhaus

Ame-a ou odeio-a, esta colorida, periférica, consciente ecologicamente transformação do desinteressante edifício da prefeitura pelo artista austríaco Friedensreich Hundertwasserno terceiro distrito de Viena é hoje uma grande atração turística como o Hofburg ou Stephansdom. Declarando guerra à linha reta e comprometendo-se a reembolsar uma dívida com a natureza,Hundertwasser cobriu a fachada em uma espécie de tabuleiro de xadrez de cores primárias, a ele agregou cúpulas de cebola e revestimentos cerâmicos, plantou gramados e árvores sobre os telhados. No interior, aos 50 apartamentos foram instalados desconcertantes pisos ondulatórios de terracota . Não perca a Kunsthaus Wien, outra transformação de Hundertwasser que fica nas proximidades desta e abriga uma coleção permanente de sua arte.

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.
