Your favorite building ever built!

[Wolf O' Donnell 5]

My favorite buildings would be the World Trade Center at New York City .

[AkemiAzula 280]

People before me have said Stonehenge and Sears Tower. I lived for some years in Sydney so naturally the opera house, harbour bridge and Sydney tower deserve a mention. I have visited Melbourne and the Eureka tower is also interesting.

 

Of course this is landmarks. My favourite architectures would be gothic, georgian and art deco.

1.) Freedom Tower or World Trade Center 1 in New York City

2.) US Bank Tower in Los Angeles

3.) TranAmerica Pyramid in San Francisco

4.) Space Needle in Seattle

5.) Emerald Plaza San Diego

I've got to go with the Chrysler Building.  It's a masterpiece of Art Deco.

[Sabretooth78 808]

Some of my favorites include (in no particular order):

 

Penobscot Building, Detroit, MI

Key Tower, Cleveland, OH

Bank of America, Charlotte, NC

City Hall, Buffalo, NY

Niagara Mohawk Building, Syracuse, NY

Times Square Building, Rochester, NY

 

Note that these all either are or are somehow influenced by art deco.  For example, the Key Tower is basically a 1990's play on the Empire State Building.  Doubtless I missed about 10 more but those are the ones that come to mind immediately.

I believe my favorite skyscraper is the Marina Bay Sands Hotel in Singapore. Doubtlessly, part of why I think so is because I love Singapore with all my heart, and can't stand living on the other side of the planet from there, but it's also an architectural masterpiece.

I don't know what building is my "favourite" but this is in my list. RMIT (Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology) Building 80 or also known as Swanston Academic Building designed by Lyons is one of the campus buildings just north of the Melbourne CBD Grid. The cut out bits are called "portals" where students can study or take a break, unlike many universities, this building connects with the outside and lets in natural light as well as giving total public access.

It sure does stand out in Marina Bay ATM, but in the coming future it'll be a totally different skyline with a vast skyscraper jungle in the new Marina South area... Enjoy the view while you can

My favorite building? It is a lot actually but this one is my most favorite.

Dear gods... that's the monstrous hotel the North Koreans have been building on and off for the past twenty-five years.

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

Oh, Ryugyong hotel... The world just loves mocking that building.

 

_A: Like I didn't know that already? Seriously though, that particular complex will be left pretty much alone. The western part of the panhandle will be overgrown, but Marina Bay Sands is going to stay surrounded with nothing else than water and parks. I think that's nice. It kind of becomes a city of its own.

Well it really depends which way you look at it, but from many angles the backdrop will be a skyscraper jungle

Oh, man! Talk about revivibg a thread! 

Guess it's about time I update my own list, too. Over the year that's passed since I left my reply I've grown old and wise and now, with my newfound intelligence, I like old things such as music by David Bowie or maybe... 40 Wall Street in New York? :)

[Fox 1,444]

This has always been a great thread to look over .. I agree, bring it back ..

 

My personal obsession is with the Mellon Bank Center, Philadelphia.

I specially like the terminal of my hometown airport. It was designed in the 70s by a local architect, and has many innovative features that most airports of that times lack. The ATC looks good too imo xD

 

I also love Torrespaña, in Madrid 

 

 

And I like a lot the Cuatro Torres complex too (shown behind the tower), I think it's very harmonious and that suits very well the city of Madrid.

The Great Sphinx in the Valley of the Kings, Egypt.  Nobody knows by whom, when, how, or why.

[OMGVKSIMCITY 6]

Pennsylvania Station, New York City:

 

 

Torn down in 1964 to make room for a toilet-bowl arena and a dreary Modernist slab (like New York doesn't have enough of those).  The present train station on the site is a charmless claustrophobic warren that's hopelessly over-capacity.  Progress!

 

you're talking about madison square garden, thats the toilet bowl one you're talking about...

[Abrams 1,744]

My favourite building is......my house!

[Ocram's Razr 964]

There is something about post-modernist skyscrapers that to me have a timeless beauty. Perhaps because they borrow elements from older building styles?

My favorite building is 1201 3rd Avenue, formerly known as Washington Mutual Tower in Seattle.

Since no one in the past 17 years mentioned the Karl Marx Hof I gotta mention the Karl Marx Hof, because its the goddamn Karl Marx Hof. Ahh what a utopian Reform-Blockrand it is Maybe I should start a thread on Blockrands...
