A favorite of my is New York, I like its art deco and modern style. A also like the glass skyscapers of Boston and London.

[ExiL3 10]

hmm.. London perhaps. It has a lot of nice old European and British architecture, and newer skyscrapers and office buildings. It would have been my favorite city to visit wasn't it for the bad weather, expenses of living there and uhm... the food

take care,

[Mike the Mayor 51]

Either London or Paris. Both cities are very similar in some ways and contrasting in others. The arcitecture is diverse in both and bothcities have their impressive skyscrapers.

[montrouge 2]

I agree with Mike the Mayor, both two has my favorite cities with Tokyo and N.Y.

[homeandaway 1]

erm...probably Shangai or Hong Kong or Montevideo or London or Sydney or Warsaw or Venice or Paris!

[panthersimcity4 162]

Sevilla, Spain... Santa Cruz Jewish quarter in the 1400's, if old times counts... lol

Lisbon has a nice old quarter with really skinny lanes...

I believe Singapore has beautiful colonial architecture also...

Barcelona, with the old city and its medieval palaces and churches, the art noveau's buildings (La Pedrera, Casa Lle

[Haljackey 17,398]

I liked Barcelona too, but I gotta go with Vancouver for this, the architectural style around the waterfront is magnificant, as well as the downtown area and the rest of the city. They are also gearing up with even more projects for the 2010 Olympic Games, which includes more, extremely modern hotels, arenas/stadiums, transportation, and tourist attractions.

i say Hong Kong and Shanghai because i love the modern glassy skyscrapers!

[GingerBlokey 30]

In terms of architecture I love the post-modernist look of London. I like the elegence and continuity of Paris and Tolouse. But most of all I love the British industriallism which is prevelant in cities such as Newcastle, Liverpool and Manchester. I think it looks divine.

[Mike the Mayor 51]

I left out Madrid and Rio de Janeiro for some reason. Madrid maintains a beautiful look with its old city and architecture, quite a lot of the city actally happens to be of French influence, buildings like the Metropolis building on Gran Via.

Rio de Janeiro, I know iscompletely different but the setting of sea to the east and lush green mountains to the west and lovely sandy beaches, the white flats an apartments look lovely. Brazilian colonial buildings are very elegant too.

Hong Kong

I love the architecture in Kansas City. It has some great art deco towers, i think.

[patriots_1228 51]

i always think of a gas station when i think of kansas city. dont no why.

[toxicpiano 125]

Pretty much every European city tbh.

[Silur 3,308]

Hi, friends ...

What about Brussels, Antverpen, Den Haag and many of Flamandia and Dutch cities

[Juanathan 0]

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know if there exist different building styles that we can download, other than the 4 available in rush hour?

[patriots_1228 51]

uhh you can get all different kinds of user created buildings in the STEX, but this is the wrong forum.

Amsterdam, Rotterdam,the Hague

[roadguy 0]

i would have to say New York, Chicago, London, Tokyo, and to a lesser extent... Baltimore and Philadelphia?

[IDS2 3,429]

patriots: me too lol

My favorite has to be Hong Kong or Singapore. Nice areas of Honolulu are cool too. Lots orf strange buildings there. Minneapolis has a nice selection of modern buildings too, but we'll never have another tall building again they want the IDS tower to stay number 1. Time to add on lol.

San Francisco. Do I really need to describe why its architectural style is so great?

[josefmayor 8]

I would rather do a top 5 in apha order

Chicago - Big Brick Sky Scrapers

Miami - Art Deco Beach District

New York - Diverse Art Deco-Modern-Neo Classism

San Fransisco - Diverse Brick Skyscrpaers with everything inbetween

Tampa - The Spanish-American Cigar Factory & Modern Architecture.

The mixture is what makes a city have awesome architecture. When you have stuff that all looks the same it kind of just sucks!

[Rochefort 13]

You know what I reckon? We all have our favourites and none of us has seen anywhere near enough of the world to make such a grand judgement.

However, I love to see the passion aroused in ST members about architecture...I swear you can learn more here than you can on a dozen academic websites. Fair play to you all...there is much to learn from what is voiced here. I enjoy every post.

winnipegs newest office building being built........

[jarrod321 0]

I think Melbourne Australia because it has a mix of the old heritage and then the towering of modern skyscrapers. Its has a good mix of the old and new
