My kind of Architecture


Durian building in Singapore - just don't try a Durian or you'll smell the town out! The fruit is banned in public places/buildings in Singapore, but this building looks the glimmering space-age design which cannot be compared to its intrusive pong!


The intrinsically designed interior funnel of the Reichstag dome, designed by old wobbly (Norman Foster).



The organically designed Allianz Arena in Munich where the locals call this structure the gigantic life buoy - cool!




The Helix hotel by Leeser - looking like extra microscopic lenses attached to your microscope - Yet a little fancier, like the white apple MAC version!


Going green in an entirely rainforest like way - the ACROS Fukuoka building - making living greener!



Cool multi-purpose living building by Murhtino - Chile - energy efficient and a colourful spectacle!



Although on first appearances the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona looks like a giant termite hill.  It is arguably the most famous piece of working architecture, which is still under construction in the world.  Its flowing, yet irregularly formed morphology is expert architecture at its best.  Who'd have thought by hanging 1K sand bags from a ceiling full of pulleys and hooks, something that would resemble a modern day bondage room, would have been the basis for a family church. Marvellous!!
