- eagles7977, on 11/11/2009, -1/+24Queen Sofia Palace of the Arts in Valencia, Spain is amazing.
- badqat, on 11/11/2009, -0/+18The Sydney Opera House is flat out gorgeous.
- MacBookForMe, on 11/11/2009, -2/+18They are very special, but I don't like that London City (Pigeons) Hall at all...
- Diggnabbit, on 11/12/2009, -1/+13I don't think "asymmetrical" is the word they should have chosen.... Lots of buildings are asymmetrical, most of them, in fact.
- Nickedynick, on 11/12/2009, -0/+9Also, a lot of these building have several striking lines of symmetry. not complete symmetry, granted, but still.
- nmffffd9, on 11/11/2009, -1/+10The Queen Sofia Palace of the Arts looks absolutely stunning
- Chaosboy, on 11/12/2009, -0/+8The Queen Sofia Palace of the Arts is the building in the background of that photo. The building at the front is L'Hemisferic, a planetarium and IMAX theatre.
- DrummerAndrew, on 11/12/2009, -0/+7Makes me think of the Simpsons episode where Frank Gehry throws down the crumpled paper and gets inspired to build the prison. Classic.

- LowRentDiggs, on 11/12/2009, -0/+5Guggenheim Bilboa is still my favorite

- tidu, on 11/12/2009, -0/+4I can see a Blitzball tournament happening in there...
- Shmebber, on 11/12/2009, -0/+3Legend has it that the building was modeled after what a guitar looks like when it's been smashed to bits.
- Sabin8, on 11/12/2009, -0/+3Um, what about the Peter B Lewis building. It's the "newer" business building at the university I'm at. http://observer.case.edu/Images/1490.png
- coloradowild, on 11/12/2009, -0/+3Some amazing designs.
- Khiva, on 11/12/2009, -1/+3I feel like I'm setting myself up for abuse here, but am I the only one who thinks the majority of these are absolutely ghastly? The Queen Sofia Palace looks interesting, and so does the Singapore School someone linked above, but a lot of the rest of these just look like deformities. The Denver Art Museum strikes me as grossly angular and the Walt Disney Concert Hall looks like a blind kid just finished playing with broken legos.
Just curious whether anyone else feels the same way? - enozten, on 11/12/2009, -0/+2the library in vancouver, bc
- diearzte2, on 11/12/2009, -0/+2We have a Frank Gehry building here in Minneapolis, looks like all his others except a little smaller. My friends and I call it the Washington Avenue Blinding Device, because if you are driving towards it in the afternoon it just reflects the sun into your eyes.
I'm surprised they would put Amsterdam on that list and not Rotterdam. I've been to both and Rotterdam blew my mind with the amount of unique modern architecture in the city. It was a completely random decision to go there, and I went by myself just for a day or two, but it was potentially one of the best choices I've ever made. Just image searching "Rotterdam " brings up some amazing buildings. Google "Rotterdam Golden Tulip". If you are into architecture......and perhaps some of the other things that The Netherlands is known for....go to Rotterdam if you find yourself in Amsterdam. It's about 45 minutes by train, much cheaper than Amsterdam, and not anywhere near as touristy. - chubbstar, on 11/12/2009, -0/+2Toronto's ROM Crystal probably counts too.
http://wvs.topleftpixel.com/07/06/04/ - jrm125, on 11/12/2009, -0/+2I saw asymmetrical and Woman's Day and thought this was gonna go another direction.
- stillhateyou, on 11/12/2009, -1/+2The Sydney Opera house is the only one of those worth a damn. As for the Walt Disney Concert hall... it's even worse up close, especially when there's the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion right next door.
- inactive, on 11/12/2009, -1/+2that's cool that visually challenged architects can get work
- DrummerAndrew, on 11/12/2009, -0/+1Love it. http://da-beer.blogspot.com/2008/02/frank-gehry-in ...
- huntermaclean, on 11/12/2009, -0/+1Is this the same person that designed EMP?
http://www.wspr.org/2008%20Conference/Copy_of_EMPP ... - Anarchrist, on 11/12/2009, -1/+2Most of them are ugly as *****. Not unexpected when built with government funding.
- Czechxican, on 11/12/2009, -0/+1I think that if they are going to show the Walt Disney concert hall they should just show the Guggenheim Bilbao because it's the genesis of that entire style of Ghery and almost universally acknowledged to be the better building.
- huntermaclean, on 11/12/2009, -1/+2What will the UAE think of next...
- diearzte2, on 11/12/2009, -0/+1There is a proposal for a building that is built based on a large central cylinder and each floor rotates about the cylinder independently. So like, floors can alternate which direction they are rotating. There is a video on youtube, its a concept, but pretty crazy.
- arthursk, on 11/12/2009, -1/+1God I feel like such a hill billy looking at some of these buildings..
- verynegative, on 11/12/2009, -1/+1Frank Gehry is a hack.
- arthursk, on 11/12/2009, -1/+1GOD DOESNT EXIST! MY BAD
- Lloydinator, on 11/12/2009, -1/+1Wait... no Dubai???
- Frogger4Truth, on 11/12/2009, -7/+2I hate this "modern art" junk. whatever happened to making a building look like a building?
