To restrict the meaning of (architectural) formalism to art for art’s sake is not only reactionary; it can also be a purposeless quest for perfection or originality which degrades form into a mere instrumentality”.

Among the philosophies that have influenced modern architects and their approach to building design are rationalism, empiricism, structuralism, poststructuralism, and phenomenology.

On the difference between the ideals of “architecture” and mere “construction”, the renowned 20th C. architect Le Corbusier wrote: “You employ stone, wood, and concrete, and with these materials you build houses and palaces: that is construction. Ingenuity is at work. But suddenly you touch my heart, you do me good. I am happy and I say: This is beautiful. That is Architecture”.

  13. Hey, #79 (State Department for Traffic (Tbilis, Georgia)) is really Tenerife Auditorium (Canary Islands, Spain).

  23. The National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, DC. ought ot be on this list, it makes all the buildings on the mall seem so old. Here’s a link I Googled up:

  24. rock and roll hall of fame is def a good one that should be added

  25. One correction. The Atlantis which you listed as being in Dubai, UAE is actually a huge resort located in the Bahamas on Paradise Island (adjacent to Nassau) I know because I’ve been there.

    Cheers!
    Billy

  26. Hahah, This is just amazing! Really nice architecture!

  27. you left out frank lloyd wrights falling water, which is an absolute masterpiece

  28. this is all memorizing….however, you should add Frank Lloyd Wrights home in western Pennsylvania, Falling Water. A true gem.

  30. @bill, this is definitely the Atlantis in Dubai (ive been there). At the far right you can see the station and rail for the monorail.

    If you’re still not convinced, click on image source….:
    T
    he Atlantis Hotel at the far end of Jumeriah Palm in Dubai. The hotel is enormous and rooms above the arch will go for $10000 a night when it opens! Start booking now! (sigh). Amazing to think a couple of years ago this was just sea.

    Ciao

  31. The title of the 70# picture is wrong, all the building is “La Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias” or “City of Arts & Science”… You can see the site in http://www.cac.es

  32. @Billy – please check following two links for clarification.

    1. The Atlantis Hotel, Dubai on Palm Jumeirah Dubai – flickr source

    2. Atlantis Resort -Paradise Island, Bahamas – flickr source

  41. The CN Tower, Sky Dome and City Hall from Toronto not in the list?
    The CN Tower & Sky Dome example picture *not mine* ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/metropol2/365532582/sizes/o/ )
    are of interest not only because of their style but also function CN Tower was for decades the tallest free standing structure in the world that was designed to withstand an impact from a Jet Airliner, only 1 person died in it’s construction (they were standing on the ground), The Sky Dome (unless I was mistaken was/is the worlds largest retractible roof).
    The Toronto City Hall simple and neat ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/rodolfonovak/71760124/ ) & ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/wvs/253069800/ ) can be seen in the Resident evil movie AKA Racoon City :-)

  60. I study architecture myself and i love weird looking building design. I have seen building no.39 and no.83 in real life while on architectural study tour to Spain in year 1997.

    There are also a lots of weird buildings design by A. Gaudi.

    I will surely bookmark this for reference. Fantastic Find!!

  61. You should know that number 15, Kansas City Public Library is not actually the library but the parking garage for the library.

  62. very nice buildings luv it!!

  63. Just because a building is in China does not mean the architect is Chinese!

  64. you know whats sad? The United States doesnt have a single artistic building of massive proportions. Sure there are some really cool buildings here and there, but not a single one that is really big. And NewYork City doesnt have a single fantastic building in it! The most populated building in the United states has not a single feat of architectural design in it. The most fantastic building would be the empire state building, but thats just a really tall building, nothing very special about it…

  69. Thanks for that, I also think the people who commissioned the buildings have courage. If you had an architect tell you he wanted to build something upside down for example, with your money I think most people would not take the risk.

  77. #12 is the headquarters of the Longaberger Company in Newark, Ohio, roughly 35 miles east of Columbus. I have seen this in person – I went to college at Denison University in Granville, which is right next to Newark. Denison doesn’t have any fancy architecture but it is, in many people’s opinion, one of the most beautiful college campuses in the country.

    As a native of Northeast Ohio, I second the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame – and the nearby Peter B. Lewis building (Case Western University).

  113. I expected to see the BMW building in Munich in this list.
    TThe Tower was built between 1968 and 1972 and was ready just in time for 1972 Summer Olympics. The building stands 101 m (roughly 331 feet) tall and is often mentioned as one of the most notable examples of architecture in Munich. The large cathedral exterior is supposed to mimic the shape of a tire in a race car, with the garage representing the cylinder head. Both buildings were designed by the Austrian architect Karl Schwanzer [1].
    The main tower consists of four vertical cylinders standing next to and across from each other. Each cylinder is divided horizontally in its center by a mold in the facade. Notably, these cylinders do not stand on the ground, they are suspended on a central support tower. During the construction, individual floors were assembled on the ground and then elevated. The tower has a diameter of 52.30 meters (roughly 171 feet). The building has 22 occupied floors, two of which are basements and 18 serve as office space. Millions of dollars have been spent on the facility due to high demand in progression.

It is a delightful interplay of colored planes and intriguing angles in sun-washed corridors. It is a wonderful space inside and out.

  141. Just an FYI on the Sagrada Família…it’s been under constant construction since 1882. I kept expecting to see it as I scrolled through the list, therefore I think your list is amazing, but incomplete. :-)

  148. The “hole house” in 17, which was in Houston, actually doesn’t exist anymore. That building was set to be knocked down, and an artist created that after it was emptied out. It stood for a few weeks, and then was completely demolished. More pics here:

    Someone wrote comments like: “you forgot that…”, “you miss this… ” etc… In my opinion “they forgot” to think that there are hundreds of millions of buildings worldwide and of course missings are unavoidable. Anyway I think that`s important to add the “hundertwasserhaus2 and the 2hundertwasser incinerator”, both en Vienna:

  178. I stand corrected. Your Atlantis Hotel pic is correctly identified as located in Dubai. Its twin & nearly identical building is the one located in the Bahamas… sorry

  200. Great website, amazing photos.
    oonly thing I deplore, is that it is only about famous,
    very big buildings at the international level (opera
    concert hall, official gouvernment buildings, etc). I
    would like to see ordinary house (in the sense of their
    size) with strange architecture.
    I remember seeing very odd houses in Montreal’s West Island
    many years ago (cement and stone, rounded walls) and I would
    like to see them again, and share it with others.

    Thanks

  254. This is the single dumbest listing of ‘great architecture.’

    Half of this shit is kitchy bs. What Venturi, Scott-Brown would call a “duck.”

    There are a few good projects mixed within this mess. But don’t try and compile a list of important architecture if you have no idea what you’re talking about. You help promote the dissemination of utter stupidity.

    If you’re truly interested in design, please visit dezee.com or archdaily.com

    Architects you might want to bother to look up include Toyo Ito, Bjarke Ingles, Jean Nouvel, Zaha Hadid, Shigeru Ban, Herzog and DeMuron, OMA, and many others.

    Just please educate yourself

  255. Wow. Really really wonderful never seen before photos

  256. in Indonesia we have some unique building, like “Monas”….

  271. I can just Say, All are Awesome, Thanks!

  272. mind blowing. How do people thinks of such works of art?

  273. Thanks for this I got more idea about web designing and good writing. I think it’s evolving. Unless a everything about your current design is truly awful, then there’s no need to completely re-design.

  274. Your site has some off the wall architecture. Just when I thought our city would just be plane jane, up comes David Sloan architectes to renovate our art gallery. It’s now renamed the Art Gallery of Alberta and it is located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It would make a nice candidate for your collection. Best to free load this structure through Google Earths Panaramo

  314. I appreciate the time and effort taken to assemble the wonders shown here into some kind of order in one spot. I’ve no doubt everyone has thier opinion and expression on each and every unique building featured and that is a great thing to propel forward. Inspiration comes to those who look, and to look here is a journey in itself without leaving the seat.

    I want to visit so many places and see so many things, and if I get to see at least some of these amazing places I will continue a hopefully better person. Thank you.
