I chose some famous landmark buildings and scientific research buildings that have a great influence on us
 
I'll say it: I'm sick of Christo Redentor. Give me Brasilia's Monumental Axis for a Brazilian wonder!

Seconded on Sagrada Familia.

I'd rather see the Empire State Building than all these 21st century skyscrapers. It's prettier, more iconic, and it's held the record longer so far.

Ugh...I don't have a good impression on Eixo Monumental, all it reminds me of is corruption and incompetent politicians. If we need something from Brasilia, I would suggest the "Catedral de Brasília".

Good point! That's a Niemeyer too, so it works for me! I just dig his stuff.
 
I’m a bit curious about the Maracana Stadium. It makes sense for Civ6 to include it since the game was published in 2016, but what exactly makes it more outstanding than other Olympic Stadium? Perhaps we can change the option into the same style as the airport option.

As for the airport option, I would like to suggest Charles de Gaul airport (CDG), the architectural aesthetics and the internal arrangement are fabulous.
 
Maracas is a legend. It’s THE stadium since at least the 30s. Only Wembley comes somewhat close imho.

CDG is a good choice for an airport. I don‘t know if any airport is at world-wonder Level though.

Maracanã is maybe the most iconic soccer stadium. This was the stage for great moments in world soccer. It hosted two world cup finals (one with the largest audience ever registered in the world cup game: almost 200,000 people inside the stadium), and the first FIFA Club World Cup. And was there where Pelé scored his 1000th goal :p.

This was also the stage for great concerts by international stars such as Frank Sinatra, Madonna, The Rolling Stones, KISS, Paul McCartney, Tina Turner and some others. Perhaps this is why its cultural bonus in Civilization. In addition to religious celebrations with the Pope.

I don't know if they are going to add any stadiums to the game (or if it's necessary at all), but if they are going to do that, Maracanã or Wembley are the most obvious options.

The Atomium is very iconic and I think it should appear in a game at some point.

Hassan II mosque is also a marvelous modern building, but it doesn‘t look so modern - except when the sliding roof is open.

The Elbphilharmonie would make a very new cultural wonder, or the Guggenheim Bilbao or Kunsthaus Graz when only architecture is concerned.

Depending on terrain and usefulness, the Gotthard Tunnel could be interesting. Similarly for the Albula/Bernina Railway.

One of the large modern parliament buildings: China, Romania, EU, Algeria, Brazil.
 
I've already said it in the other thread but, Gardens by the Bay/Supertree Grove in Singapore is definitely something I'd consider to be a contemporary "Wonder".
